This new report expands on the preliminary Timberwatch report released in December 2009, and provides greater insight into the commercial and industrial activities of the Norwegian owned company Green Resources Ltd (GRL), and associated issues, in the Mufindi district of Iringa province in southern Tanzania. Findings from this research show major problems with land alienation affecting displaced local communities, poor working conditions, destruction of biodiversity upon which the local communities depend for food, fuel and medicines, reduced water availability, and many other things that can impact negatively on the livelihoods of affected communities.
