Selling Out West Papua




In West Papua, Indonesia, we investigate allegations of fraud and human rights abuses in billion-dollar land deals.


West Papua is home to Asia's largest remaining rainforests, Indigenous communities and unique species.
But this exclusive 101 East investigation reveals how Korean-run companies are allegedly engaging in questionable deals as they buy up forests to develop palm oil plantations.
Featuring rare access to a restive Indonesian province usually off-limits to journalists, we meet tribesmen who allege that Posco International and Korindo are plundering their land for a pittance.
