The Rimbunan Hijau Group in the Forests of Papua New Guinea

Adding to the existing literature on the history of forestry policy and reform in Papua New Guinea (PNG), this paper focuses on the Malaysian Rimbunan Hijau Group (RH) – the largest actor in PNG’s forest industry. Rimbunan Hijau’s dominant presence since the 1980s has been accompanied by allegations of illegality, corruption and human rights
abuses. This paper outlines RH’s initial involvement in PNG’s forestry sector and discusses some of the more
controversial aspects of its engagement with concession acquisition processes and public policy, as well as its responses.
