Indonesia’s largest environmental group, Walhi, has filed a complaint with the Attorney General’s Office, accusing 47 companies in the palm oil, mining and forestry sectors of corruption and environmental destruction, allegedly causing 437 trillion rupiah (US$26.5 billion) in state losses.
Local Indigenous communities say the mining sites have put their food security at risk, with pollution affecting fruit trees and root vegetables as well as depletion of local fisheries.
The story, penned by Iloilo-based writer Rhick Lars Albay, documented the rapid growth of a coastal forest in his hometown and explained how mangrove mapping could be an effective decision-making tool for the region. It was recognised for being a story of triumph.
