Large-scale land acquisitions (LSLAs) in forests bring considerable economic, social and environmental impacts to communities in Asia. As the regional focal point of the Land Matrix Initiative (LMI) in Asia, the Asian Farmers Association for Sustainable Rural Development has recorded 1,009 LSLAs in the region, of which 40% are intended for forest-related investments covering 1.1 million hectares of land. To know about the distribution and nature of these deals, read our report: LSLAs in forests in Asia 2022: A Snapshot: Brochure_LSLAs_Forestry_2022
If you would like to report an LSLA in your area or to get involved in this initiative, please connect with us through email at afa@asianfarmers.org
