The Legal Aid Foundation Indonesia (YLBHI) published Papua in the Military's Grip: YLBHI Report on the Human Rights Situation in Papua 2023-2025.

In the report, YLBHI also examined mining concessions in Papua, which will cover an area of 1.18 million hectares by 2025.

By 2025, YLBHI identified 42 mining concessions across Papua, ranging from nickel to gold mines.

The majority of these concessions are located in Central Papua Province, followed by Papua Province, West Papua, and Southwest Papua.

The following are the percentages of mining concession distribution in Papua by province in 2025:

Central Papua: 69.8%
Papua: 18.6%
West Papua: 9.3%
Southwest Papua: 2.3%

Despite the presence of mining, YLBHI stated that the people of Papua remain trapped in poverty. This is because, as of March 2025, the poverty rate in Central Papua Province was still considerably high at 28.90%.

Meanwhile, Highland Papua Province, which is a province without mining concessions, contributed a poverty rate of 30.03%.

"The presence of mining, at least, does not make a significant difference in reducing the poverty rate," YLBHI explained in its report.
