Saving Raja Ampat: Biodiversity, Communities, and Climate Justice

Listen on Apple PodcastsSpotifyAmazon

Raja Ampat is paradise under threat. 🌿🌊

In this episode of Attributions, we travel to one of Indonesia’s most biodiverse regions — a place where coral reefs meet ancient forests, and Indigenous wisdom guides stewardship of the land and sea.

But behind the beauty, something darker is surfacing. Nickel and coal mining — framed as part of the world’s “green transition” — are endangering the very ecosystems and communities they claim to help.

🎙️ Join us as we dive into the growing fight to save Raja Ampat — where biodiversity, culture, and climate justice converge in one of the most urgent environmental frontlines in Southeast Asia.
