protect Indonesian children but also extend a shield of immunity to those in neighbouring Papua New Guinea (PNG) With complete polio vaccination rates in Papua Province as low as 44.42% in 2023 reaching the target of 95% coverage for children aged 0-7 years seemed daunting Recent polio outbreaks in neighbouring provinces of Greater Papua have raised alarm in both Indonesia and PNG implementing innovative strategies that have had far-reaching impact “We used to wait for people to come to the Puskesmas,” Dr Samuel explains “But many families struggle with transportation costs Our vaccination coverage showed substantial growth afterward.” Kambuaya and Nurse Biuti Mawar Sari checked the students list as they prepared to administer the nOPV2 polio vaccine in Skouw village which is 13% of the 347 children who should receive this protection from Puskesmas Skouw team in the first round of the 2024 polio campaign Support from WHO helped enable the Puskesmas to vaccinate 442 children by the end of the campaign on 21 June 2024 The team conducts its work in key areas around the Cross-Border Post (PLBN) Skouw RI-PNG 100 people pass through the border post daily with numbers rising to approximately 1000 on Saturdays where communities exist across national boundaries \"We realized that many families in our area have roots on both sides of the border,\" Dr Samuel says \"Children often cross back and forth with their parents we're not just protecting Indonesian children but also creating a buffer of immunity that extends into PNG.\" WHO's assistance has been crucial in enhancing the skills of healthcare workers to implement the polio campaign and address cross-border challenges This has enabled Dr Samuel's team to vaccinate children who might have otherwise been overlooked Dr Samuel walks towards the border post of the Republic of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea in Skouw Dr Samuel remains committed to this broader vision of public health \"Every child we vaccinate here could prevent an outbreak there,\" he says \"We're not just fighting polio in Indonesia; we're contributing to the global eradication effort.\" His team stands ready to vaccinate children from PNG if they are present in the Skouw area in alignment with National immunization guidelines The guidelines stipulate that all children encountered during vaccination activities are eligible to receive immunization where borders are fluid and communities interconnected Dr Samuel and his team are building a healthier future for children on both sides of the border National Professional Officer of Routine Immunization "We realized that many families in our area have roots on both sides of the border," Dr Samuel says "Children often cross back and forth with their parents but also creating a buffer of immunity that extends into PNG."

Antara is projected to become a future source of raw water covering an area of 10,400 hectares and a depth of 75 meters above sea level has become the main alternative after the existing water sources on Mount Cycloop began dwindling due to ongoing forest encroachment Head of the Papua River Regional Office (BWS) stated that his side had prepared facilities and infrastructure to use the water in Lake Sentani as a future source for Jayapura City and District his office has built a reservoir to utilize raw water in Lake Sentani as drinking water managed by PT Air Minum Jayapura (PT AMJ) or Papua Drinking Water The water from Lake Sentani cannot be used directly and must be processed to become clean water the reservoir was built to suction the lake water Lake Sentani's water must be processed before being distributed to customers the water is still classified as raw water and cannot be used at this time until a water treatment plant is built to convert it to clean water The Papua Settlement Infrastructure Center will construct the water treatment plant trials and research will be conducted on the water quality before it is distributed to customers The water resulting from this processing must be ensured to be fit for consumption and in accordance with health standards emphasized that the company will provide optimal service considering that Lake Sentani's water discharge is quite high his side will use 1,000 cubic meters of water per second this quantity has not been fully utilized because it still uses water from the Cycloop Mountains the managed water source still comes from the Cycloop Mountains that stretch from Jayapura District to Jayapura City the company manages 21 water sources originating from Cycloop Mountains with varying water capacities the water supply tends to decrease due to forest encroachment have experienced a decline due to factors such as forest encroachment As a result of forest encroachment and changes in the area's function water levels have decreased and caused environmental damages are now open due to forest encroachment," Sutisna remarked He expressed hope that water from Lake Sentani would become a source of clean water for the residents of Jayapura City in the future and fulfill the need for clean water various preparations are still being made by the parties as water providers and the Papua Settlement Infrastructure Center which will build the water treatment facility Apart from preparing a facility to process raw water into clean water Lake Sentani's water must be studied before being distributed to 38 thousand customers as a company operating in the field of clean water services stated its readiness to manage and distribute the water to residents in Jayapura City and District If the water from Lake Sentani could be utilized and the period of water distribution could be extended especially used ones installed since the Dutch era around 60 percent of pipe connections to customers' homes are new pipes that are expected to reduce the level of leaks The water distributed to customers so far is not categorized as drinking water but is still clean water so it must be boiled first before being used for drinking or cooking also urged all elements of society to protect the Cycloop Mountain Nature Reserve (CAP) from forest encroachment to maintain the source water for residents in Jayapura City and District The water resource has been used to fulfill community needs and is managed by the formerly known PDAM Jayapura the sustainability of the CAP Cycloop forest must be maintained by limiting deforestation in the area If forests are not jointly protected and forest encroachment continues it is feared that natural disasters could occur in the future such as the flash floods that struck in 2019 and community should immediately take concrete action to prevent forest destruction in the CAP Cycloop such as by reforesting areas with a thinning tree population The

is still massively occurring in border areas In addition to using official crossing points smugglers also use unofficial crossing routes or rat routes officials increase their supervision by engaging with customs TNI-Polri security forces are still conducting patrols The daily traffic activities of Papua Niugini residents at the Skouw Border Post marijuana smuggling continues to be our main concern," said Brendina he admitted that the increasingly widespread use of unofficial paths is also a challenge citizens from these two countries are involved in smuggling various types of goods through unofficial paths This also enables the increase of using more clandestine routes Academic from the University of Cenderawasih stated that with the increasingly massive smuggling it means there is less-than-maximum law enforcement This gap can come from the weakness of border supervisors and security forces Also read: Smuggling Marijuana to Jayapura, Six Dealers from Papua New Guinea

Papua New Guinea many parties need to be involved in monitoring and prevention the vast border areas in Papua present an increasingly challenging situation it means there is less than optimal law enforcement This gap can stem from the weakness of border monitors and security forces Looking at the Border Security Task Force (Satgas Pamtas) there are currently three Indonesian Army battalions tasked with guarding the land borders between three regions in Indonesia and Papua New Guinea: Jayapura city there are only 51 Satgas Pamtas posts to secure the 430-kilometer border (Kompas.id the government must also encourage active participation from the community There are village funds that can be maximized In addition to socialization for the public they should also be encouraged to get

Indonesia Antara reported that the Papuan government through the local Livestock and Plantation Office has declared an emergency status for an outbreak affecting pigs in the local area The head of the Papua Livestock and Plantation Service said the emergency status was declared after the death rate of pigs increased from February 6 to April 5 when 156 pigs died in Nolokla and Ayapo villages "The 156 animals showed symptoms of an ASF outbreak that has the potential to spread therefore emergency disaster measures are needed to prevent its spread in the Papua province region," Koibur said in Jayapura Matheus said the authorities were taking the necessary measures to prevent and control the transmission of the ASF outbreak These include banning the movement of pigs products and processed goods to and from Jayapura Regency and other areas with ASF The authorities are also providing information on the dangers of ASF "We are urging pig farm managers who use swill feeding to cook it perfectly We are also conducting unannounced inspections of pig slaughterhouses restaurants and eateries that serve processed pork," Koibur said acting head of the Jayapura Regency Plantation and Livestock Service said dozens of pigs that died in Ayapo village and Nolokla The Jayapura Regency Plantation and Livestock Service has eliminated and buried the infected pigs in the two villages to prevent further spread Dena explained that the spread of the African swine flu virus can be transmitted within a radius of 100 meters "…The disease that caused the death of dozens of pigs in the two villages of Ayapo and Nolokla could affect other livestock if it is not stopped immediately," Jenny said on June 3 has imposed a ban on the movement of pigs between sub-districts and villages to prevent the spread of the ASF virus "There must be no more movement of pigs from within Lewoleba town to districts or villages," said Theresia Making acting secretary of Lembata's agriculture and food security department Editor's Choice: Indonesia Issues Dengue Fever Warning to Bali Tourists Israel Hit by Sandstorm as Wildfires Still Raging Towards the end of Indonesian President Joko Widodo’s tenure he and Papua New Guinean Prime Minister James Marape stepped up cross-border cooperation between Indonesia and PNG by signing four Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) Two of the MoUs are particularly attention-grabbing: the agreements on Cross-Border Movement for Commercial Buses and Coaches and on Cross-Border Transport of Goods by Motor Vehicles They are unprecedented in the history of bilateral relations between Indonesia and PNG overcoming a long-standing reluctance to permit public transport across the border the agreements are limited to the cities of Jayapura and Vanimo located on either side of the border in the northern part of New Guinea These MoUs undoubtedly pave the way for increased cooperation between the two countries offering significant benefits to the people living in Jayapura and Vanimo who now have access to public transport for crossing the border these agreements reflect Indonesian foreign policy under the Jokowi administration which sought to strengthen ties with the Pacific community this breakthrough marks a significant step in the sister-city cooperation between Jayapura and Vanimo which has been renewed for a second term since 2016 While this breakthrough represents progress between the Wutung border post and Vanimo city a journey which takes approximately 1.5 hours by taxi Several bridges along this route are susceptible to river water flowing over the upper surface — worse during the rainy season — which can make driving hazardous for those without the special skills to navigate safely Another important consideration is transnational crime Local news often reports on smugglers transporting marijuana from Vanimo to Jayapura using unofficial land routes or even attempting to cross via the official border posts While we often hear about those who are apprehended there is concern about those who slip through With these MoUs increasing interaction between the two communities and making cross-border public transport more frequent security measures need to be strengthened — both before boarding public transport and at the border — to deter smugglers effectively The new cross-border public transport agreement will significantly increase the flow of people An increased number of individuals from PNG will travel to Indonesia through Jayapura for various reasons including family visits and sightseeing — though shopping will likely be the primary allure The Skouw market at the border is already a popular destination and this new cross-border transport option is expected to attract even more PNG visitors to Jayapura To ensure mutual benefits to both countries this new transport arrangement should embrace the concept of reciprocity  A much larger traditional market near the Wutung border post would attract more people from the Indonesian side there is an opportunity to develop more tourist attractions in Vanimo City to appeal to more Papuans and Indonesians offering more than the mere purchase of items such as sausages Travel documentation is another crucial consideration as crossing the Indonesian-PNG border requires either a type of border crossing pass — commonly known as the red and yellow cards — for individuals residing along the border or a passport for those not classified as border residents The border crossing pass is typically used for traditional purposes and within specific distances with the new MoUs permitting commercial buses and motor vehicles to enter Jayapura or Vanimo it is essential to establish clear immigration arrangements to manage the movement of people and goods effectively reducing visa fees from both countries would help facilitate this new cross-border public transport arrangement While these two MoUs on cross-border movement by public transport have yet to be implemented there is no doubt that they represent a significant breakthrough in Indonesia-PNG relations What needs to happen now is the effective implementation of these agreements taking into account the more critical issues along with any other considerations to ensure tangible benefits for both Jayapura and Vanimo as well as Indonesia and PNG more generally Korwa

the early development of Sentani tribe's culture since the beginning of civilization the Sentani language is now only spoken by the elderly The Papua Language Center groups the Sentani language into the non-Austronesian language family This classification is intended for languages used in the inland and mountainous regions of Papua local languages on the Papua coast are categorized as Austronesian languages It is believed that the Sentani language is still spoken by 25,000-30,000 indigenous people They reside in four districts around Lake Sentani admits that he cannot speak the

speaking in Sentani language you can understand the meaning a little," said Alfons Also read: In the last three years, 11 regional languages ​​in the archipelago have become extinct This is in line with what the researcher from the Papua Language Center the development of areas with increasingly heterogeneous communities has also created a shift in habits intermarriage with non-Sentani ethnic groups also affects the use of language Lake Sentani is located close to the center of Sentani city which leads to a more intense interaction with outsiders "Malay-Papuan language becomes a compromise as a daily language," said Yohanis Children's activities in the coastal village of Lake Sentani this is what is causing the Sentani language to become increasingly marginalized Families who should be the guardians of their mother tongue are actually getting caught up in using the Malayan-Papuan language in their household environment The significant gap in the use of local languages across generations has resulted in the categorization of the Sentani language as experiencing a decline by the Language Center The language's condition is divided into categories such as safe Please note that no forbidden words were present in this article This category is not separate from the negative attitude of the Sentani language speakers only understand but are not proficient in speaking their

Wamena adalah ibu kota Kabupaten Jayawijaya Kota di Lembah Baliem ini sejak lama jadi pusat aktivitas ekonomi dan pemerintahan di wilayah pegunungan tengah Papua Letaknya 1.800 meter di atas permukaan laut Wamena bisa terjangkau dalam 45 menit dari Bandara Sentani Proyek jalan trans Papua membuat wilayah ini akhirnya bisa ditembus dengan jalan darat satu proyek infrastruktur utama Pemerintahan Joko Widodo di Papua dan Papua Barat Ia masuk dalam proyek strategis nasional dan Rencana Pembangunan Jangka Menengah Nasional (RPJMN) 2020-2024 Data Kementerian Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat (KPUPR) menyebutkan panjang jalan trans Papua di Papua mencapai 2.902 km Ini meliputi ruas Jalan Merauke-Tanah Merah-Waropko (543 km) Jayapura-Elelim-Wamena adalah ruas jalan trans Papua terpanjang di Papua Sebelumnya sudah ada jalan darat dari Wamena ke Elelim jalur baru dibuka dari Jayapura melalui Senggi untuk pertama kali warga gunakan jalan ini mahasiswa di satu perguruan tinggi di Kota Jayapura pernah lalui jalan ini ada beberapa teman yang sudah rencana naik (ke Wamena) Saya juga tergerak hati untuk ikut,” kata Yoni saat ditemui Senin (28/9/20) di Jayapura Jalan dari Kota Jayapura hingga Distrik Senggi Keerom relatif mudah dilalui karena sudah beraspal “Karena baru buka dan belum ada kendaraan lewat jadi masih aman dan bagus Dua sungai yang waktu itu belum tersambung atau belum ada jembatan adalah Kali Yahuli dan Kali Kil Beberapa kendaraan rusak dan harus berhenti untuk diperbaiki Dari Jayapura perlu tiga hari sampai di Kota Wamena “Dari Benawa masuk ke Elelim itu yang agak susah Ada satu gunung paling tinggi dari antara semua gunung di situ Mereka bikin jalan dengan kasi botak di atasnya “Kita harus naik sampai di puncak itu lalu sampai di atas kita harus turun lagi Turunnya berkelok-kelok sampai tiba di bawah lalu ke sebelah naik lagi.” Sepanjang ruas jalan yang baru dibuka sepi dan tidak ada pemukiman warga Yoni kembali melakukan perjalanan pada Agustus 2019 Waktu tempuh ke Wamena jadi dua hari dan sudah bisa dilalui mobil Sebagian besar mobil mengangkut barang termasuk bahan bangunan seperti semen Papua dan Maluku menjadi satu simpul koridor ekonomi akan ada proyek investasi berbasis sumber daya alam sampai dengan penciptaan pusat-pusat perekonomian baru salah satu cara menghubungkan wilayah-wilayah ini Adapun lima kegiatan ekonomi utama di koridor Papua-Maluku adalah pertanian pangan Jalan trans Papua jadi proyek nasional karena menghubungkan Papua dan Papua Barat Proyek yang direncanakan Badan Perencanaan Pembangunan Nasional (Bappenas) dikerjakan KPUPR melalui Balai Jalan Nasional “Jalan trans Jayapura Wamena itu nanti dari Wamena lanjut lagi ke Lani Jaya Kepala Dinas Pekerjaan Umum dan Perumahan Rakyat (PUPR) Kabupaten Yalimo ditangani pemerintah pusat dan dikerjakan Balai Jalan Nasional “Kebetulan melewati Kabupaten Yalimo,” katanya konektivitas antar wilayah jadi target proyek jalan trans Papua jalan sudah bisa dilalui meski belum semua bagus sampai semua beraspal memerlukan waktu lama dan dana besar tahap pembangunan atau pembongkaran hutan sampai terbentuk badan jalan Satu kilometer itu bisa mencapai Rp12 milliar kira-kira bisa mencapai Rp12 miliar persatu kilometer.” pemerintah kabupaten bertanggungjawab mengurus soal lahan terutama pelepasan lahan yang melewati kebun atau pemukiman warga lahan pinang atau dulu pernah berkebun itu memang mereka menuntut pelepasan ada pemalangan tetapi pembangunan bisa berjalan karena sesungguhnya masyarakat sadar jalan ini penting untuk masyarakat demi kemajuan daerah.” panjang ruas jalan trans Papua mencapai 380 km sekitar 100 km melewati Suaka Marga Satwa Membrambo Foja Jembatan Yahuli sampai Elelim itu masuk kawasan lindung Tetapi status kawasan bisa diubah dengan izin Menteri Kehutanan (Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan) tak akan menghentikan dampak lingkungan yang akan timbul Yan menyakini akan ada pemukiman baru di ruas Jalan Trans Papua yang saat ini masih sepi “Ketika jalan dibuka agak jauh ke sana di hutan sana mereka (masyarakat) juga akan pindah ke sana karena itu juga wilayah mereka daerah yang awalnya hutan belantara karena ada jalan “Dari segi ekologi atau lingkungan itu berpengaruh.” Belum diketahui keseluruhan kawasan konservasi yang dilalui jalan trans Papua. Hasil penelitian The Asia Foundation (TAF) bekerjasama dengan Lembaga Ilmu Pengetahuan Indonesia (LIPI) menyebutkan salah satu kawasan konservasi yang dilalui jalan trans Papua di pegunungan adalah Taman Nasional Lorentz Taman nasional ini memiliki keragaman hayati sangat tinggi disebut sebagai kawasan dengan ekosistem terlengkap di Kawasan Asia Pasifik Pada 1999, Unesco menetapkan kawasan itu sebagai situs warisan dunia. Taman Nasional Lorentz merupakan kawasan konservasi terluas di Asia Tenggara Kalau merujuk Undang-undang Nomor 5.1990 tentang Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam Hayati dan Ekosistemnya Pembangunan jalan ini juga lewat Keputusan Menteri Kehutanan Republik Indonesia Nomor SK.782/Menhut-II/2012 Permen ini mengatur tentang perubahan atas Keputusan Menteri Kehutanan dan Perkebunan Nomor 891/KPTS-II/1999 tentang penunjukan kawasan hutan di wilayah Irian Jaya seluas 42 Pertumbuhan ekonomi jadi alasan perubahan fungsi kawasan ini “Kalau kita bayangkan di masa akan datang kalau jalur ini sudah sangat bagus kemudian konektivitas meningkat dan trip banyak di situ bisa jadi punya potensi mengganggu keragaman hayati di Taman Nasional Lorentz,” kata Yulia Indri Sari koordinator tim peneliti saat diwawancarai Selasa (29/9/20) di kawasan itu ada tanaman sangat penting dan langka hutan notofhagus dengan status terancam (endangered) Tim mengutip laporan Unesco 2014 dan 2015 serta laporan KLHK pembangunan jalan di jalur ini menyalahi prosedur Tidak ada dokumen resmi analisis mengenai dampak lingkungan (amdal) dan berita acara penebangan pohon untuk pembukaan jalan Pemerintah berambisi menghubungkan Merauke hingga Sorong lewat pembangunan jalan trans Papua pemerintah lebih banyak membangun jalan-jalan antar kampung dan pusat-pusat layanan kesehatan Jalan-jalan ini yang lebih diperlukan terutama Orang Asli Papua (OAP) yang sebagian besar skala ekonomi penghidupannya belum membutuhkan pasar di luar kabupaten di mana mereka tinggal Pembangunan infrastruktur jalan di Tanah Papua disarankan tak mengikuti pendekatan pembangunan infrastruktur konektivitas di seluruh Indonesia dengan jalan dan jembatan lebih fokus untuk peningkatan ekonomi dan pergerakan komoditas harus memperhatikan konteks non-ekonomi seperti relasi sosial dan lingkungan hidup tetapi yang berorientasi untuk komunitas Orang Asli Papua bukan semata-mata pertumbuhan ekonomi,” kata Yulia Penelitian TAF dan LIPI pada Januari sampai Juni 2018 Mereka ingin melihat dampak pembangunan jalan trans Papua terhadap penghidupan OAP dan lingkungan hidup Penelitian ini secara khusus melihat pembangunan jalan trans Papua pada era Jokowi Jalur yang diamati antara lain jalur Jayapura-Waris-Senggi pembanguan jalan trans Papua era Jokowi memang cepat mendorong perbaikan jalan Pembangunan jalan berdampak positif pada peningkatan layanan dasar kesehatan dan pendidikan orang asli Papua Warga lebih mudah mengakses sekolah-sekolah di wilayah perkotaan Petugas kesehatan juga jadi lebih sering berada di tempat karena angkutan ke tempat tugas lebih lancar dan mudah terjangkau dari wilayah tempat tinggal mereka pembangunan jalan trans Papua ini tidak berdampak signifikan pada pertumbuhan ekonomi orang asli Papua Barang-barang dari luar menjadi lebih mudah masuk tidak ada komoditas hasil usaha masyarakat ke luar Kondisi ini karena hasil pertanian masyarakat biasa skala kecil dan dijual di pasar-pasar di pusat kabupaten atau distrik “Yang terjadi konektivitas yang meningkat karena perbaikan jalan pada masa Jokowi itu lebih bisa dimanfaatkan oleh pendatang karena keahlian dan networking mereka lebih cocok dengan perdagangan,” katanya Peneliti juga menyoroti dampak terhadap relasi sosial pembangunan jalan trans Papua meningkatkan intensitas perjumpaan antar warga sisi lain berpotensi meningkatkan ketegangan Ketegangan terutama terjadi antara orang asli Papua dengan warga pendatang Ada kekhawatiran pembukaan jalan trans Papua akan memudahkan orang-orang masuk dan menguasai sumber-sumber penghidupan masalah sampah dan peningkatan aktivitas penebangan hutan cukup signifikan di beberapa tempat Masyarakat dipakai oleh para cukong untuk menebang dan menjual kayu-kayu Pemekaran kampung-kampung baru dan program dana desa juga ikut berpengaruh pada peningkatan permintaan kayu untuk pembangunan rumah sudah disampaikan ke pemerintah seperti Bappenas Pemerintah Papua dan Papua Barat awal 2019 Kepala Badan Pengembangan Infrastruktur Wilayah (BPIW) mengatakan komitmen KPUPR terhadap Papua sangat tinggi Terbukti kucuran anggaran naik dari 2016 sampai 2019 anggaran sampai Rp 6 triliun Papua dan Papua Barat lebih Rp3 triliun “Angka tinggi ini menunjukkan komitmen kita untuk membangun Papua KPUPR konsern juga tentang hal itu,” katanya dalam rapat koordinasi awal Agustus lalu dikutip dari laman KPUPR Beberapa proyek infrastruktur sudah berjalan seperti pembangunan Jalan Trans Papua yang menyambungkan barat ke timur dan utara ke selatan sekitar 200-300

wheels of the economy of Jayapura City especially in ensuring the supply of goods for the community Visitors can also find various types of Papuan specialties and other regional specialties in Indonesia such as Manadonese smoked Roa fish and Eastern Indonesian sago cakes as well as a variety of Indonesian traditional cakes In addition to providing community’s needs Hamadi Market also offers Papuan art objects such as koteka Most of typical Papuan tribes’ art are available in this market Hamadi Market has existed since the Dutch colonial era and has become a trading center for the people of Jayapura to this day At that time Papua was still called Hollandia Hamadi Market is like a miniature of Papua inhabited by almost 250 different tribes an owner of the Jayawijaya Art shop in the Hamadi Market shopping complex said that the goods he sells are obtained directly from the craftsmen He admitted that The National Sports Week (PON) XX had a positive impact on the sales turnover of art goods in his shop after almost two years hit by COVID-19 pandemic The total turnover of sales of his art goods soared to hundreds of millions of rupiah during the last PON XX event "Visitors from outside Papua usually look for noken bags there are also those who buy shields and carvings," he told InfoPublik He hopes to reap profits at the XVI National Paralympic Week (Peparnas) like the last

development in Papua’s capital have put a sacred space for women among the mangroves at risk is on a mission to protect Papua's mangroves known for its azure waters and lush mangrove forests has seen infrastructure development that has helped improve locals’ lives and the economy Cafes and restaurants have mushroomed there since the Youtefa bridge’s inauguration by then-Indonesian president Joko Widodo in 2019 The striking steel-arched bridge spans 11.6km over the bay connecting Jayapura city and Hamadi district in South Jayapura district to the Muara Tami district in eastern Jayapura It has reduced the time taken to travel from Jayapura city to Muara Tami from an hour to 15 minutes But Papuan environmentalist Petronela Merauje has also witnessed the environmental cost of such development About 20 hectares of mangrove forests were cleared to make way for the project is the forest clearance’s disproportionate impact on women One of the most affected areas was the Women’s Forest a traditional sacred space reserved for women in the community It is an important place to women from the indigenous Tobati village and Enggros village only women may enter the sacred forest to collect clams as part of a tradition called “Tonotwiyat” the Papuan women remove their clothes to swim and look for clams Any man who enters the forest may be fined 300,000 rupiah to 1 million rupiah In this traditional forest that is hundreds of years old the women freely talk and share their grievances We share stories with each other about problems in the village government and on various issues such as education or health,” said Petronela we will convey our discussion to the village administration church or traditional leaders so that the problem can be resolved,” she said the woman affectionately as “Mama Nela” tells CNA how she has rallied the community over the years to take action and find solutions Rapid development has caused the mangrove forests in Youtefa Bay to shrink by more than half from 514.24 hectares in 1967 to 233.12 hectares now This is without taking into account the additional amount of land lost due to the clearing of the forest to make way for the construction of Youtefa bridge The deforestation has caused the women in Petronela’s village to worry they could be seen by outsiders when searching for clams the forest has become transparent because the mangroves have been cut down and we no longer feel comfortable,” Petronela said There is also an increasing amount of waste washing into Youtefa Bay resulting in a declining catch of fish and clams “Youtefa Bay has become the largest waste accumulation site in Jayapura city with most of the trash concentrated in the Women’s Forest,” she said “Fish and shellfish catch are on the decline and this will also affect the city as the seafood is supplied to local markets and restaurants.” Mangroves not only serve as “protector” of the women in her village “The forest is vital to our food security (because) it contains a marine ecosystem which serves as a key source of livelihood for the people of Enggros village,” she said Mangroves serve as nurseries for fish and other marine animals Scientists have said they help humanity in other important ways – protecting coastal communities from flooding and extreme weather hence mitigating the impact of climate change Research has also found that indigenous communities are crucial to climate action as many ecosystems within the areas they manage are in better health than those found outside these areas Petronela’s journey as an activist began about 15 years ago when she joined a mangrove-planting effort of the environmental group Forum Peduli Port Numbay Green she founded the Ibayau Forest Farmers Group she led an initiative with the group to clean up rubbish and plant mangrove seedlings in the Women’s Forest they have planted at least 20,000 mangrove seedlings and their efforts have begun to bear fruit The land that was previously barren is now turning green,” said Petronela who also welcomes people from other villages around Youtefa Bay to come together to plant mangroves She encourages the women in her village to create a new income source by making items for sale from the fruit of mangrove trees “Mangrove fruit can be processed into syrups After learning how to process mangrove fruit from YouTube videos several processed mangrove products have received approval from the Indonesian National Agency of Drug and Food Control a government agency which regulates and oversees the safety and quality of products in Indonesia Petronela has also found a way to salvage some of the waste that pollutes Youtefa Bay selling items such as repurposed plastic and glass vases as souvenirs to tourists Her efforts have been recognised by the Indonesian government Petronela received the Kalpatru Award from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry said to be the highest accolade for Indonesia’s environmental heroes The award has opened more doors for her and helped attract more assistance from various parties including the country’s central bank Petronela hopes to turn the mangrove cultivation programme into a more profitable enterprise for the community She is working on getting a halal certification for the syrup and ice-cream products developed from mangroves She hopes to establish her own factory one day and hire women from her village as employees “Women must be more active in processing mangrove fruit into a variety of products to reap its full benefits My dream is for them to one day be able to support their families,” she said Petronela wants the Women’s Forest to be revitalised and become a domestic tourist attraction for women from other provinces in Indonesia Her hope is that future generations of Papuans will continue her work in preserving the environment “I want to raise more Mama Nela(s),” she said Get our pick of top stories and
