Over 105,000 Papuans are currently internally displaced due to escalating conflict and military operations. Many families have been living in prolonged displacement since 2018, with limited access to food, healthcare and safe shelter.

Recently, our local team in coordination with Papua Tanpa Batas Medical Team, delivered essential health services in Musaima, one of many communities directly impacted by this growing humanitarian crisis.

Five Papuan doctors and three other medical personnel treated 83 patients. The most common conditions identified were acute respiratory infections, intestinal worms, headaches, malaria, and scabies. The overcrowding, poor sanitation, and environmental exposure are contributing factors.

Three patients required urgent referral to Wamena Hospital due to severe physical weakness, including one individual experiencing reduced consciousness.

Ahead of the response, coordination ensured referral pathways and follow-up systems were in place.

Papua Tanpa Batas, a network of dedicated young Papuan doctors and nurses, continues to serve communities in some of the most remote and conflict-affected areas.

⚠️It is vital that full, safe and unhindered humanitarian access be granted for humanitarian aid organisations to help these communities.

Essential health, nutrition and protection services must be delivered and long term support for these communities to return home must be prioritised.

Protect the forest, protect the future.
Save the forests of Papua.

Women of Papua, my friends,
let us take care of it.

We have forests and we have nature.
This is for our children and grandchildren in the future.

Thank you.

Good day, shalom.
My name is Albert Boy Kawai.
We are from the community of Webron village,
and we speak to all Papuan people:

Protect water,
because water is the source of life
and a necessity for all living beings.

Thank you. God bless.

Hello, I am Pastor Martha.
I invite us to protect the river systems,
because there is sago, there is matoa,
there is coconut, there is areca nut.

Let us all protect nature,
because this is our life.

Thank you.

More than 100,000 Indigenous West Papuans are estimated to be internally displaced due to ongoing conflict and military operations.

At the same time, large-scale deforestation driven by resource extraction and expanding food estates is reshaping the land they depend on.

Families now living in Kimbim and Musaima fled from Nduga due to armed conflict. Leaving meant more than abandoning houses. It meant leaving cultivated gardens, livestock, stored harvests, and ancestral land that sustained social and economic life.

In the highlands, livelihood and land are inseparable. Displacement interrupts planting cycles, removes access to food systems, and breaks communities and families apart.

Rebuilding in Wamena takes place on borrowed ground. Homes are rebuilt. Water access is installed. Seeds are replanted. Livestock is purchased. Each step restores something, but it does not replace what was left behind.

This is not just short-term relocation. It is a devestating and prolonged disruption of life, security, and the future of communities.

Our local partners are responding in practical ways, working alongside communities as they rebuild.

From today until 29 April, every donation will be doubled through the Earth Raise Campaign.

All funds will go towards supporting indigenous Papuan activists protect their lands and forests.

Earth Raise Campaign is live! Today until the 29th April everything you give will be doubled.

Forests are being cleared at speed in parts of West Papua.

For Indigenous communities, that is not just environmental loss. It changes how people live, where they can remain, and what can be passed on to the next generation.

Across West Papua, communities are organising to defend their forests and lands.

From today until 29 April there is a way to put your support into action and stand with them.

Each donation given through the Earth Raise campaign is doubled this week.

4 days to go!

From 22–29 April, every donation will be doubled through the Earth Raise Big Give campaign.

In West Papua, Indigenous communities are working to defend their forests and land in the face of rapid deforestation, large-scale extraction, and increasing pressure on how they live and remain in place.

This work is already underway. It is local, organised, and led by those who live it. It includes protecting ancestral land, sustaining livelihoods, and building the capacity of communities to respond over the long term.

For one week, your support for this work will have double the impact.

If you’ve been following what is happening in West Papua and want support indigenous activists on the ground, joining this campaign is a great place to start.

That’s a wrap on 2025, a year shaped by steady, locally led change across West Papua. Communities protected one another and took practical steps toward dignity, safety and long-term resilience.

As we move into 2026, the work ahead remains demanding and deeply necessary. We will continue to stand alongside our local partners, support women and youth as agents of change, respond to the displacement of communities, and defend land, forests and livelihoods under ongoing pressure. This work is slow and relational, built on trust, and it depends on long term partnerships.

We step into the year ahead together with commitment and shared purpose. Thank you for being part of this journey.
