The investigative series Indonesia for Sale shone a light on the corruption behind Indonesia’s deforestation and land rights crisis: in-depth stories exposing the role of collusion between palm oil firms and politicians in subverting Indonesia’s democracy.

The series was the product of two years’ reporting across the country, interviewing fixers, middlemen, lawyers and companies involved in land deals, and those most affected by them.

Indonesia for Sale was a collaboration between The Gecko Project and Mongabay. It also included a collaboration with Tempo, Indonesia’s leading investigative magazine.
