To President Prabowo Subianto of Indonesia:

We call on you to halt the planned megadeforestation project immediately, end the military intimidation of Indigenous communities protecting their lands and livelihoods, and ensure that any plans for development in Merauke are carried out with the free, prior and informed consent of all communities that will be affected.

Sign to stop the world’s biggest deforestation project!
There’s a military guard assigned to each Indigenous village - put there to intimidate Indigenous locals into silence as they watch their land and their future slip away.

But they are fighting back - risking their lives to resist the government’s violent megadeforestation project, which will impact up to 50,000 Indigenous people and destroy globally important conservation areas.

Let’s honor their courage with a global avalanche of voices pushing the government to stop the project now: Indonesian leaders have worked hard to build an environmentally friendly image abroad, and our partners say a million voices demanding justice could cause them to back off.

The destruction has already started and the people have been victimised - sign now to stand with Indigenous peoples in Indonesia before it’s too late!
