Nature Sustainability Threatened by Multinational Corporation Cooperation: Land Clearing in Papua in 2020

Abstract

The wealth of natural resources in Indonesia has become an attraction for industrial actors, both domestically and abroad. Deforestation in Papua is a failure of management by the Korindo company, causing a threat to the preservation of natural resources that can harm Papua people who depend on natural resources, including forests. This paper aims to provide an analysis regarding the consequences caused by deforestation and encourage decisive steps that should be taken by the Indonesian government using the perspective of green politics because it requires the right perspective in carrying out expansion. The perspective of Sustainable Development Goals can also be implemented in this paper because it concerns the sustainable development of Papua forests in the forest. The results of the analysis found by the author show that the Indonesia government has only tried but is not able to provide a solution recommendation for the decisive action on the main issue of deforestation committed by PT Korindo Group, thus resulting in damage in Papua due to the failure of expansion. Based on the results of the study, there is a correlation between the impact of forest land damage in Papua and the inequality of indecisive policy, resulting in social discrimination experienced by the local community so that deforestation receives a direct warning from Green Peace. The role of the Indonesia government in solving this problem really requires further investigation so that it can strengthen the government’s steps in establishing appropriate policy for sustainable development of forests in Papua.
