A $16 BILLION REFINERY AND A LAND DISPUTE
For major land-based investments, proper due diligence must go beyond title searches. Investors should verify the legal status of the land, identify actual occupiers and affected communities, resolve ownership and compensation issues, assess livelihood and environmental impacts, and complete the required approvals and public participation before taking possession or commencing development.
THE FAMILY TRUST HAS CHANGED

Community Conservancies: Protecting Land, Rights and Benefits
A conservancy on community land is not just a conservation or tourism project. It is a land decision that can affect access, grazing, settlement, income, governance and future control of the land.

Conservation should protect the land without weakening the community’s rights over it.
