According to a survey by the Pioneer Choice Seventeen Foundation (PP17), inefficient waste management is considered by Indonesian citizens to be an environmental issue that the government needs to address immediately.

In addition, destructive mining projects also receive significant public attention as an environmental problem that needs to be resolved.

“The public's increasing attention to this issue is likely triggered by widespread media coverage of projects that damage Indonesia's natural diversity,” PP17 explained in its report.

PP17 added that the issue of indigenous forest grabbing shows a significant increase in public priority. This is reinforced by the emergence of the #SavePulauPadar campaign, which highlights threats to indigenous territories and conservation areas.

“The increased attention to these two issues reflects the growing public awareness of the importance of ecosystem protection and environmental justice in Indonesia,” PP17 wrote.

The list of environmental issues that the government needs to address immediately, according to Indonesian citizens, is as follows:

Inefficient waste management: 33%
Destructive mining projects: 32%
Water and air pollution: 26%
Indigenous forest grabbing: 26%
Ownership of natural resources by a select few: 20%
Lack of green open spaces: 20%
Floods and tidal floods: 20%
Land conversion for tourism areas: 20%
Widespread microplastic pollution: 18%
Forests for oil palm plantations: 17%
Extreme weather: 15%
Forest and land fires: 15%
Fossil fuel dependence: 13%
Don't know: 2%.

The PP17 survey was conducted from September 26-29, 2025, involving 404 respondents aged 17-44 from across Indonesia, and used the computer-assisted self-interviewing (CASI) method or online survey.
