One of the activities in The Heartland Project series is film screenings in schools, which are part of the Kalimantan International Indigenous Film Festival event. Some environmental-theme videos were screened to the students. They were very enthusiastic to discuss about the films and the future of Kalimantan.

Melalui DAYAK CREATOR FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM ini, pemuda adat dapat meningkatkan kreativitas, berinovasi dan bertransformasi dari seorang digital viewer menjadidigital creator, dan menciptakan konten yang dapat membantu mempersiapkan generasi mendatang untuk memahami pentingnya pengetahuan masyarakat adat bagi kesehatan bumi, dan menumbuhkan rasa bangga terhadap identitas mereka sebagai generasi muda masyarakat adat.

Flair and Behave's generous donation was instrumental in making this project a reality, allowing the youth to make a tangible impact on the environment and inspire others to follow in their footsteps. It serves as a shining example of how collaboration between businesses and local communities can lead to meaningful and lasting change for the betterment of our planet.

Youth Act Kalimantan, a youth movement under Ranu Welum Foundation, in collaboration with KSR PMI UPR, undertook a momentous tree planting activity that was met with resounding success. Over the course of three consecutive days in April 2024, the dedicated volunteers planted a total of 1,100 trees in the degraded land of Central Kalimantan.

Through its tireless efforts in tree planting, forest mapping, and fire fighting, the foundation has successfully rehabilitated a vast area of 2,271 hectares, which were once ravaged by harmful practices and forest fires.

The numbers speak for themselves – 226 Indigenous women and girls from remote villages in South Barito have been transformed into communities leaders and advocates for environmental justice in their communities.

From the elusive pangolin to the magnificent sun bear, from the traditional herb plant Kancip Fatima Labisia pumila to the endangered pitcher plant Nephentes khasiana, these protected species are now removed from immediate harm as we were able to secure the forest.

This time, we distributed 216 nutritional packages consisted of milk, honey, vitamin, candy, green peas, eggs and snacks for children in Pilang village. We also gave 200 N95 masks for local firefighters in that village.

Sarasi, the coordinator of Katuyung Firefighter, highlighted the challenges faced by his team. Limited water supply and a shortage of water tankers were the main obstacles in firefighting efforts in peatland areas.
