Dear Mr. Dato Ahmad Tarmizi Alias,

I am writing to vigorously oppose the Malaysian
government's intent, through its Federal Land Development
Authority (FELDA) government agency, to profit from the
clearfelling of the Brazilian Amazon's ancient biodiversity
rich rainforests to establish toxic oil palm plantation
monocultures. We are protesting FELDA's plans to develop
with local partner Braspalma an oil-palm plantation project
located in Manaus and Tefe, Brazil -- the heart of the
Amazon. Malaysian tax-payer dollars are to be used to turn
huge portions of the Amazon from a biodiverse, carbon rich
paradise into a big lifeless, toxic monoculture and
environmental disaster. Please ensure this project's
approval is immediately withdrawn.

Your government's long-time and continuing actions in
support of industrial oil palm and logging in primary
rainforests worldwide are having devastating consequences
for communities, local soil and water, biodiversity and
ecosystems,
