Auction of 100 Indonesian islands delayed after criticism
17,000 of them, is nothing new, said Muhammad Yusuf Sangadji, executive director of Jala Ina, an activist group in the Maluku islands focused on ocean preservation and coastal communities. But the huge scale of this particular sale — which includes an entire reserve rather than just a few islands — and the fact that information about it is easily accessible online have caused it to go “viral,” he said.
Okki Soebagio, a spokesperson for LII, said it will develop less than 0.005 percent of the reserve, making it the “lowest density private island resort development in the world.”Advertisement
