Indonesia's green Islam: When climate protection becomes a religious duty | DW Documentary

An increasing number of Indonesian imams are calling on the faithful to protect nature and save the world. This new movement preaching environmentalism originates in one of the largest mosques in the world, in Jakarta. But just how credible is this movement? And how effective? Fatwas against logging, sermons about safeguarding the planet, and mosques with solar panels and water recycling systems. In Indonesia, protecting the environment is being presented as a religious duty.
