Dhini Amalia

Dhini Amalia documents environmental justice issues through analytical reporting on Medium, focusing on resource extraction impacts in Indonesia and climate-driven displacement across Southeast Asia. Her coverage examines nickel mining operations in Raja Ampat and other biodiverse regions where industrial development intersects with indigenous lands and protected habitats. She tracks how these extractive projects affect local communities through changes in water quality, land access, and economic stability. Her environmental analysis connects urban planning decisions, conservation policy, and social equity outcomes across Indonesian municipalities and special economic zones. She investigates how infrastructure projects, industrial permits, and development patterns create compounding environmental burdens in specific neighborhoods and districts. This research maps relationships between zoning choices, pollution exposure, and community displacement. The reporting synthesizes field observations, policy documents, and stakeholder perspectives to evaluate environmental governance in Southeast Asian resource economies. She documents how mining concessions, urban expansion, and climate adaptation plans reshape local landscapes and livelihoods. Her work contextualizes regional environmental challenges within broader patterns of global resource demand, regulatory frameworks, and climate vulnerability.
