Prosperous Communities, Sustainable Forests
At the 2023 UN Climate Change Conference (COP28) in Dubai, Professor Charlie Heatubun (Head of Research & Development Agency, Provincial Government of West Papua, Indonesia) presented on the challenges and best practices for achieving sustainable development in intact rainforests. The film premiered at Prof. Charlie’s session in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) “Unite for Nature” Pavilion on December 3. It features the voices of the Indigenous and local communities safeguarding one of the world’s last great intact rainforests. Watch to experience how their values, knowledge, and partnership are critical to achieving climate goals and shaping the future for all of us.

How _"for the birds"_ is actually for everyone!

These people are so right in caring for nature ❤.
Caring for nature is what will keep us alive, NOT endless technologies 😬

Even medical technology? (Rhetorical Question)

I hope I am not mistaken, but it appears to me that the younger generation of Indonesian have a sound understanding of what it takes to protect their natural habitat. I travel throughout Indonesia in the early 90s and mid 2010s, unfortunately in just too many places the people hardly cared about their god given nature. West PNG … is on my list! Thanks for sharing!

Sustainable forests are ones that do not get cut down. It's hard to sustain a thing that is destroyed first... Go figure.
