A Voice for Just Climate Action: Asmat people
The Asmat people from Papua Indonesia, witness the effect of climate change and how the arrival of people from other place destroys their nature. The communities still hold a hunter-gather culture and have a strong relationship with nature. Clear and legal recognized boundaries of territories of the different villages in the Asmat clan, can help to protect them from the impacts of climate change.
