By Rainforest Rescue, http://www.rainforest-rescue.org/ with Ecological Internet's Rainforest Portal, http://www.rainforestportal.org/ September 11, 2009 TAKE ACTION HERE NOW: http://www.rainforestportal.org/shared/alerts/send.aspx?id=world_bank_indo_forests Ombudsman report on 20 years of corrupt IFC, World Bank Group lending to the Indonesian oil palm industry casts doubt on Bank's fitness to manage international forest carbon funds that may emerge at Copenhagen climate talks. It is time for the World Bank to end finance of oil palm, sustainable forest management, paper pulp and other industrial rainforest developments known to be the root causes of deforestation, degradation and climate change. The Bank must permanently end financial support for these industrial developments impacting primary rainforests, or it is the wrong entity to administer forest carbon monies.
