Exhibition highlights vanishing of West Papua's UNESCO-recognised noken weaving
Original: # News : Exhibition highlights vanishing of West Papua’s UNESCO recognised # noken weaving for # palmoil and # sugarcane
An exhibition is drawing attention to the decline of noken, the traditional woven bag craft of West Papua recognised by UNESCO as intangible cultural heritage. Advocates say plantations for palm oil and sugarcane are driving deforestation and land grabbing that threaten the indigenous communities who keep the craft alive. Campaigners are urging consumers to reject products linked to corporate land grabbing in the region.
Why now: Activists are using the exhibition to draw attention to how palm oil and sugarcane expansion threatens indigenous culture and land rights in West Papua.
