number 1 to 5.
Nicholas "Nico" Saputra is among the Indonesian actors who are outspoken about
environmental issues and are involved in conservation activities. His fondness for nature grew after
traveling took him to numerous places. One of the places that left a deep impression on Nico was
Tangkahan in North
Sumatra.
Nico's first encounter with Tangkahan was in 2005. He admired its residents' commitment to
maintaining ecotourism activities. In 2019, he established Terrario Tangkahan villa near Mount Leuser
National Park in North Sumatra. The villa is said to avoid the use of air conditioners, and guests will
still feel comfortable during their stay due to its construction that allows adequate air circulation.
However in 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic affected the activities badly, with the area closing
for months, while residents must rely heavily on ecotourism. Knowing this, Nico then started an
online fundraising on crowdfunding platform Kitabisa for the local community, orphans, mahouts and
rangers around the area.
The fundraising collected Rp 369.75 million (US$24,777.49) out of a target of Rp 750 million.
The funds were then donated to the International Leuser Foundation, which has collaborated with the
community for the area's conservation activity. Tangkahan gradually welcomed visitors from nearby
cities or regions under health protocols.

The following text is for questions number 6 to 10. Yuyun Ismawati made a progressive movement in
inventing a viable model of community-based solid waste management in Indonesia. In 1996 Yuyun
and her colleagues at the Wisnu Foundation, an environmental citizen sector organization in Bali,
began to offer and implement for a leading tourism area a waste management service focused on
solid waste from large hotels.

Their plan differed significantly from the existing system but included many principles found in
internationally accepted environmental regulations. For example, Yuyun's plan included ideas like
encouraging polluters to pay and minimizing the volume of solid waste through recycling or onsite
reuse.
These ideas became the operating principle of a solid waste transportation and management service
company called PT Jimbaran Lestari in the resort area of Jimbaran. There, Yuyun assisted garbage
collectors working with large hotels in the area to expand into a new field as solid waste management
service providers. The system Yuyun introduced offered the garbage collectors new skills and career
options.
Today, PT Jimbaran Lestari is a self- sustaining organization that employs 50 full- time salaried workers
and operates eight trucks servicing 12 large hotels. It has become a model waste management system
and groups of school children, regional government officials, and ecotourists visit to learn from it.

The following text is for questions number 11 to
15.
Two sisters from Bali, Melati Wijsen and Isabel Wijsen, who were 12 and 10 years old at that time,
actively mobilized the masses not to use single-use plastics. They raised their voice amidst the crowds
of beach tourists in Bali to start abandoning the use of plastic bags through the 'Bye Bye Plastic Bag'
movement in 2013. Melati and Isabel's initial goal was to make their hometown free of plastic.
Born and raised in Bali, with natural nuances
that are always around them, Isabel and Melati are aware of the threat of plastic pollution that will
damage their hometown. The two sisters thought of taking action by spontaneously starting the Bye
Bye Plastic Bag movement. Now, Melati and Isabel are respectively 20 and 18 years old, and their
campaign has been
running for more than 6 years.
Bye Bye Plastic Bag was originally a movement inviting tourists and the local Balinese community to
clean up plastic waste on the coast, to collect petitions. They even managed to get a hundred
thousand signatures to get the support of the local government. Melati and her friends also helped
local shops and eight hundred families to use bags made from alternative materials instead of plastic
bags.

After three years since the two sisters started Bye Bye Plastic Bag, the movement has gained global
support. A total of 13 countries showed interest in supporting this movement. In the last 4 years, the
Bye Bye Plastic Bag movement has succeeded in getting 57,500 people in 430 locations to participate
in preventing 115 tons of plastic from polluting
the oceans.

Laetania Belai Djandam
Laetania Belai Djandam, a member of Indonesia's Dayak people, learned from an early age the
importance of community and environmental conservation. Djandam grew up in the city of Bogor, not
far from the capital Jakarta. But she also toured the countryside and visited parts of Borneo, where
she spent extensive time with various indigenous communities, learning about their customs and how
best to advocate for them.
She first volunteered on a river clean-up project when she was 7 years old and started learning about
forest management when she was 9. And at 17, she observed the people of the Dayak Iban Sungai
Utik Long House resist illegal logging and palm oil efforts in West Borneo.
Djandam saw firsthand how the climate crisis was worsening these problems and making it difficult
for communities in West Borneo to continue their way of life. Intense rainfall happens a lot more
regularly now, degrading the quality of soil, overwhelming local animal and plant populations, and
flooding homes.

The Dayak Iban are demonstrating what sustainable forest management looks like. They reserve
6,000 hectares of forest for protection, which they guard against outside forces, and set aside 3,504
hectares of forest for rotational crop cultivation that operates in
harmony with local ecosystems.
Until today, she's still working with communities in West Borneo, helping to facilitate discussions
between generations about the proper management of land.
