Jayapura – The size of the indigenous population in the land of Papua is steadily declining. There are many reasons for this drop in the population. Aside from the marginalisation of indigenous communities, another factor is the high mortality rate resulting from climate and environmental changes caused by land clearing by companies.
Farid Gaban, one of the authors of the book "ResetIndonesia", noted that the decline in the indigenous Papuan population stands in stark contrast to the region's immense natural wealth. Current data indicates they make up no more than 38 percent of the population.
