Aleta Baun
Aleta Baun, 54, does not feel that her task is any easier since she received the Yap Thiam Hien human rights award in 2016. The lady who has worked for years leading the fight against environmental destruction in South Central Timor regency, East Nusa Tenggara, feels that her fight is not yet over.
“The mines have torn apart the sacred Nausus stone mountains, the mother of all local stone mountains where our family names come from. We cannot just stay quiet,” Aleta said when receiving the award in Jakarta on Jan. 25.
