Good day!
What is the word that describes a person who operates within a specific land or area without the permission of the owner of that area/ land?
In case it might help, here's the background of my question:
In our province, we own a land that is mainly used for agricultural purposes, but there is also a group of people who tends to invade it and harvest it for themselves, and planting their own crops there. We legally own the place. Now we want to right a formal letter directly to our central government to request aid for this issue, but we are having a hard time coming up with a word that best describes the situation.

I think Squatter fits this bill nicely!
From dictionary.com:
a person who settles on land or occupies property without title,
right, or payment of rent.

I think the proper term is OCCUPIER.
According to Collin's Dictionary
(https://www.collinsdictionary.com/dictionary/english/occupier):
"The occupier of a house, flat, or piece of land is the person who lives or works there.
[formal]"
According to Oxford English Dictionary
(https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/occupier):
occupier
// A person or company residing in or using a property as its owner or tenant, or (illegally) as a squatter.
There's another word with the exact sense of this action illegality -
trespasser
A person entering someone's land or property without permission.
‘a trespasser on his land’
(https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/trespasser)
Here's an example from Reverso.context.net:
'You are a trespasser in my poppy fields.'

"Occupier" misses the "without permission of the owner", which seems to be key.
