Glenn van Zutphen on Saturday Mornings with Neil Humphreys

Saturday Mornings: Reefs, Resorts, Local Communities, and Refineries… Under Pressure in Bintan’s Eco-Battl


Listen Later

During our Saturday Mornings Sit-Down Conversation, Andrew Dixon, Founder, Nikoi, Cempedek Islands and Jaya Putra of LooLa Resort discuss how Bintan’s local culture and sensitive marine sanctuary are being decimated due to an industrial park and aluminum refinery.

 

Today’s Saturday Sit-Down takes us to the heart of Bintan—where rapid industrial expansion is colliding with fragile ecosystems and coastal communities. Joining us are two voices who know this island intimately: in the studio, Andrew Dixon, founder of Nikoi and Cempedak Islands, long-time champion of eco-tourism and marine conservation; and on the line from Bintan, Jaya Putra, Community Engagement Director at LooLa, an award-winning and beloved eco-resort destination for many Singapore school trips since the 1990s. As pressure mounts from the expansion of the Galang Batang Special Economic Zone—led by PT BAI and its powerful corporate backers—nature, livelihoods, and transparency appear to be the casualties. Coral reefs, fishing grounds, and even designated Marine Protected Areas are now under threat. Join “Saturday Mornings Show” host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys.
