In Peru, the oil palm company Palmas de Huallaga S.A.C. has been linked to a number of irregularities. The company controls 1,900 hectares in the Peruvian Amazon, and they have been accused of clearing forests in protected areas in at least five of its properties. The Peruvian NGO Paz y Esperanza has also found that the company cleared forests in at least two of its properties prior to obtaining licenses to do so, which is illegal. Other than the illegal actions associated with Palma de Huallaga, they have committed a series of other land grabbing crimes. This includes not respecting the legal requirement of keeping 30 percent of the forest in its properties, deforesting river banks, and failing to respect the boundaries of their properties by clearing adjacent forests.
