TO GO WITH AFP STORY BY ANNE CHAON
Benedict Smarts stands next to tombs of his ancestors, on December 12, 2012, on the concession of Indonesian Golden Veroleum Liberia, southern Liberia, where, since the end of 2010, large parts of the last great primary forest of Liberia disappear to make way for palm oil in defiance of traditions and local customs closely linked to forest. Previously hidden deep in the forest, tombs are now surrounded by palms trees for oil palm exploitation. AFP PHOTO / ANNE CHAON        (Photo credit should read ANNE CHAON/AFP/Getty Images)
