The Kapa are a Minangkabau people in Indonesia's West Sumatra province. The community accused Wilmar International, the world's largest palm oil company, of planting oil palm in their territory without their permission. Wilmar is a member of the Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil, meaning that it must respect the right of communities to veto development projects on their land. The RSPO recently decided that Wilmar had violated the Kapa's right to "free, prior and informed consent."
