            Please SIGN: Stop the destruction of Papua‘s Marind forest!
            Dear friends of the rainforests,

            Papua, on the island of New Guinea, is home to Indonesia’s last large rainforests. Marsupials, cassowaries and birds of paradise live here. Indigenous peoples such as the Marind and Yei feel a deep connection to their “mother” forest.

            Since mid-2024, cargo ships loaded with heavy machinery have been docking in southern Papua. Hundreds of excavators are fanning out across the region under the supervision of the Indonesian military. 

            It is hard to imagine the scale of the threat: if things proceed according to the government’s plan, more than two million hectares of Marind and Yei forests – an area the size of Wales or the US state of New Jersey – will be converted into industrial mega-plantations for a “National Strategic Project” to produce sugar and ethanol.

            This assault on nature is a disaster of global significance for the climate and biodiversity, and an existential threat for Indigenous people – the Marind and Yei are defending their ancestral forests with all their might.

            Please sign our petition to the Indonesian government and the UN Human Rights Council. 

                  TAKE ACTION  
                  Thanks for being involved,

                  John Hayduska

            The “Merauke Declaration of Solidarity” is the result of an Indigenous meeting held from March 11 to 14 in South Papua. Indigenous people are demanding a halt to the two-million-hectare sugar and bioethanol project by the Indonesian government.
