In 2004, [[Friends of the Earth Europe|Friends of the Earth Netherlands]] performed a review of Wilmar's palm oil operations in [[Sumatra]] Riau as undertaken by PT Jatim Jaya Perkasa. Wilmar had 20,800 hectares of land there and the operation was financed by the Dutch [[Rabobank]] and the [[International Finance Corporation]]. Satellite photos proved that in 2004 the plantations were on sea shore [[peat]] [[rain forests]], the depth of the peat being four meters, whereas such land is actually protected under Indonesian law. Nevertheless, in 1997 Wilmar received permission to plant there despite it being peat land. According to locals, the plantation endangers the [[Sumatran tiger]] population that inhabits the area, and this became a point of conflict with Wilmar in 2004. Soon after, Wilmar sold PT Jatim Jaya Perkasa and joined the [[World Wide Fund for Nature|WWF]] Palm Oil Association.{{Citation needed|date=June 2023}}
