A war is being waged against the tribal people and forests of West Papua. Land and a whole way of life is going to be lost forever unless we act now.

BP leads the massive Tangguh gas extraction project in a remote region of West Papua. Without BP's huge investment, it wouldn't be profitable for Indonesia to continue its devastating occupation. A huge area of land and seven villages are threatened with deforestation, pollution and repression.

We need to take action in this country to show solidarity with these people.
