Does Spring Come to Stolen Forests

It has been 10 years since the company first entered Sembuluh village, but villagers have not yet received what they were promised. Instead their right to life is being threatened. Polluted lake water is killing the fish and the villagers are no longer able to drink the lake water. Villagers are suffering from new types of diseases, such as lung ailments, asthma and cardiovascular disease. Villagers have no doubt that the cause of these diseases is the black smoke emitting all day long from the crude palm oil mill. Some people have been forced to leave for other islands or other countries in order to make a living, as they cannot obtain work at the plantation.
