DTE works to supports human rights and ecological justice in Papua.

Big plans for Papua

DTE 91-92, May 2012

In our special edition newsletter on Papua published in November 2011, DTE drew attention to the long and sorry history of top-down resource exploitation in Papua.

An additional layer of plans specifically for Papua is being promoted by UP4B, a special unit to speed up development in Papua.
