Residents Protest Against Sangihe Gold Mine In Indonesia

Sangihe Island residents and activists protest agains Indonesia’s controversial Sangihe Island gold mine in front of Canada embassy in Jakarta on 7 July 2022. The plan for large-scale gold mining on Sangihe Island, North Sulawesi has become a polemic. The project not only threatens the lives of the Sangihe residents, but also threatens the extinction of endemic birds.

It is known that Hemud Hontong died suddenly while traveling on the Bali-Makassar route on June 2021. (Photo by Afriadi Hikmal/NurPhoto)
