Urgent action is needed to halt the takeover of indigenous peoples’ lands for megaprojects in forested provinces like Kalimantan and Papua in Indonesia.

Urge tomar medidas para detener la apropiación de tierras de pueblos indígenas de provincias boscosas como Kalimatan y Papúa en Indonesia para dedicarlas a megaproyectos. La destrucción de bosques y ríos está socavando los medios de vida indígenas locales, y destruyendo tierras ancestrales.

Une action urgente est nécessaire pour mettre fin à la prise de contrôle sur des terres des peuples autochtones pour des projets de grande envergure dans des provinces où les forêts abondent comme le Kalimantan et la Papouasie en Indonésie. La destruction des forêts et des rivières sape les moyens de subsistance des Autochtones locaux, et détruit les terres ancestrales. Entre 40 et 70 millions de personnes des zones rurales d’Indonésie dépendent de l’accès aux terres et aux ressources, y compris pour l’eau potable et l’assainissement. Ces terres et ressources sont protégées par des lois coutumières.
