Desperation sets in for Indigenous Sumatrans who lost their forests to plantations

The seminomadic Suku Anak Dalam Indigenous people have lived in two areas of what is now Jambi province on Indonesia’s Sumatra island for generations, but an influx of plantation interests has shrunk the customary territory available to their society.

The company did not respond to several requests for comment.
