What is happening to the Papua Forest?

Papua is one of the regions in Indonesia that is blessed with extremely rich forests. The Papuan community has been relying on these forests for their livelihood from generation to generation.

However, now they have to struggle to preserve the forest which will be taken over by palm oil plantations. For the people of Papua themselves, the forest is not just an area covered with trees. But within it, there are cultural values and it has been a source of livelihood for the people of Papua all this time. That is why they are very committed to preserving their nature as best as possible. According to the explanation from the Pusaka Bentala Rakyat Foundation in a petition titled "Half the Size of Jakarta's Forest Will Disappear. Supreme Court, Revoke PT IAL's Palm Oil Permit!".

The forest located in Boven Digul Regency will be cleared and converted into a palm oil plantation by PT Indo Asiana Lestari (PT IAL). This forest covers an area of ​​36 hectares, which is more than half the size of Jakarta. Well, inside the forest is where the indigenous community of Marga Woro and the Awyu tribe live. With the palm oil plantation project, they strongly reject it and file a lawsuit for the environmental permit of PT IAL's palm oil plantation, accompanied by the Coalition to Save Papua's Indigenous Forests.

The lawsuit is currently in process at the Supreme Court (MA). In addition to filing a lawsuit, the Papuan community also held a peaceful demonstration in front of the Supreme Court building in Jakarta on Monday (27/5). During the demonstration, they voiced their opposition to the development of palm oil plantations in the forests where they live. "We have come a long, complicated, and expensive journey from Papua to the capital city of Jakarta to ask the Supreme Court to restore our rights that have been taken away by canceling the palm oil company's permit that we are currently fighting against," said Hendrikus Woro, an environmental activist from the Awyu tribe.
