This paper aims to provider an understanding linking indigenous women, land rights, indigenous forests and the marginalisation of women in agrarian conflicts in Indonesia. For indigenous people, forests are not only a natural resource but they are a integral part of their culture. Rivers and swamps are a source a food and help indigenous women teach their children how to survive in nature. Forests lose their biodiversity overshadowed by monoculture plantations, mining and other agricultural practice. These practice do not only destroy the beauty of forests, but also cause acute environmental pollution and birth defects.
