Podcast De Dag: The Last (Forbidden) Reportage by Mustafa Marghadi
Correspondent Mustafa Marghadi produced a reportage in Papua, Indonesia, before his departure, which Indonesian authorities wish to suppress. The investigation focuses on massive deforestation in Merauke for palm oil production, an industry supplying nearly 60 percent of the world's palm oil and heavily imported into the Netherlands.

The episode highlights how palm oil, found in many Dutch supermarket products, drives this environmental destruction and human rights concerns in the region.
