Ethiopia’s north-western region Benishangul Gumuz made made important announcements in its meeting with Land lessee investors on May 8, according to the news from Ethiopian-reporter.

The regional government ordered investors  to stop clearing and burning down forests on the land they acquired for agricultural development.

The news indicated the list includes investors, including S and P Energy Solutions, an Indian establishment; Ardent Energy, Zeleke Farm Mechanization and Ambassel Trading House. These firms  were engaged in extensive razing and burning of the land for farming, entailing the migration of wildlife to nearby Dinder Park in the Sudan, according to the news.

The news claimed ‘previous procedure of guess-work in measuring and demarcating land when giving out land for agri-businesses has been eliminated.’
