On January 19, 2026, the Klagilit Maburu Indigenous Community in Moisegen District, Papua, expelled an alleged envoy from PT Inti Kebun Sejahtera, who was attempting to persuade locals to convert their customary forest into palm oil plantations. This incident highlights resistance against Indonesia's push for biofuel production in Papua.

Community leaders assert that the conversion threatens their cultural identity and livelihood, as customary forests are integral to their existence. President Prabowo Subianto's government plans to expand palm oil cultivation in Papua for energy self-sufficiency, but environmental and Indigenous rights groups warn it may lead to deforestation and human rights violations.

A 2024 study indicates that the environmental costs of palm oil expansion far exceed its economic benefits, as ongoing conflicts over land persist. The expulsion reflects broader Indigenous resistance against corporate interests in the region.
