The Indonesian government has been urged to cancel a controversial auction that will sell off a 100-island tropical paradise archipelago in Bali to the highest bidder.
The event - which would invite the world’s wealthiest people to bid on the islands - clearly “violates the provisions of conservation law” and the management of Indonesian islands and land, according to NGOs.
The development rights to an entire 100-island tropical paradise Indonesian archipelago, called the Widi Island, will be auctioned off next week via Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions in New York - with no outright starting price point.
