JAKARTA: Islander communities are facing shrinking living space as more small islands across the country fall into private hands, an issue that has gained renewed attention following reports of islands being sold, raising concerns over land rights in outlying island regions.
Reports have emerged in the past week that some small islands within Indonesia’s territory are listed for sale on privateislandsonline.com, a website managed by Canada-based firm Private Islands Inc.
