Annual Report on Form 10-K. Plum Creek Timber. Plum Creek Timber (NYSE: PCL) is a timberland owner and manager, as well as a forest products, mineral extraction, and property development company. It is the largest private landowner in the United States. It is headquartered in Suite 4300 at 999 Third Avenue in Seattle.[2] Plum Creek was spun off from Burlington Resources as a master limited partnership (MLP) on June 8, 1989.
Burlington Resources was created from the Burlington Northern railroad's natural resources holdings in 1988. Plum Creek Timber is heir to some of the 47 million acres (19,000,000 ha) of timberland originally granted by the federal government to the Northern Pacific Railway in the 1860s, and most of Burlington's lands were originally purchased, or otherwise acquired as timberland.[3] The MLP converted to a real estate investment trust on July 1, 1999 in order to obtain tax and accounting advantages available to real estate developmers. Transactions with the U.S. Environmental record[edit] References[edit] Weyerhaeuser. Pulp and paper industry. The industry is dominated by North American (United States and Canada), northern European (Finland, Sweden, and North-West Russia) and East Asian countries (such as East Siberian Russia, China, Japan, and South Korea).
Australasia and Brazil also have significant pulp and paper enterprises. The United States had been the world's leading producer of paper until it was overtaken by China in 2009.[1] The industry is criticized by environmental groups like the Natural Resources Defense Council for unsustainable deforestation and clearcutting of old-growth forest.[2] The industry trend is to expand globally to countries like Russia, China and Indonesia with low wages and low environmental oversight.[3] According to Greenpeace, farmers in Central America illegally rip up vast tracts of native forest for cattle and soybean production without any consequences[4] and companies who buy timber from private land owners contribute to massive deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest.[5] 2007[edit]

Violence in Nigeria's Oil Rich Rivers State in 2004 : The Emergence of Armed Groups in Rivers State. <<previous | index | next>> Since oil exploration began in Nigeria in the 1950s, the nine states that constitute the Niger Delta have been sites of intense violence, from the Biafran war of succession in the 1960s to the Ogoni uprising in the early 1990s. From 1997, Delta State, primarily in and around the capital Warri, has been the main site of violence in the delta. In late 2003, the center of violence shifted to Rivers State, principally in and around the “oil capital” of Port Harcourt. Although the violence across the Niger Delta has manifested in different forms -- in Warri it is seen as a conflict between Ijaw and Itsekeri ethnic militias, in Rivers State as a battle between Ijaw groups -- it is essentially a fight for control of oil wealth and government resources. Both Asari’s NDPVF and Tom’s NDV are primarily comprised of young Ijaw men from Port Harcourt and nearby villages.
