Papuan tribe, palm oil firms battle for land rights in Indonesian top court
In a jungled corner of #Indonesia's #Papua, the Awyu tribe await a Supreme Court verdict that will determine whether thousands of hectares of rainforest will be cleared for a vast palm oil concession to be planted atop the graves of their ancestors.
"Birds of paradise, cassowaries... sacred places, and the paths of our ancestors are there," said Awyu man, Hendrikus 'Franky' Woro.
