Scientific/technical activities
The development of a Situation Analysis on Oil Palm and Biodiversity as requested in Resolution 061 is ongoing. The report has been drafted by 25 co-authors, including some representatives from IUCN Specialist Groups. The draft report will be distributed for IUCN-wide and external review on December 22nd. Based on that feedback, we will develop a final text of the Situation Analysis by late January 2018. The Situation Analysis should be available online by April 2018.
