I am in the Sagulung sub-district

in Batam,

this is part of the activities of the

UGM Center for People's Economic Studies in

collaboration with the Peat and Mangrove Restoration Agency

to conduct research on

local economic development based on

mangroves and peat.

Last year we conducted

research and also mentoring, of

course, because our approach is not

only research, we also mentor

the community.

The topic is ecotourism.

Now we are expanding ecotourism and also

natural dyes. We are taking a

cross-disciplinary approach. There are fellow

researchers from the Faculty of Forestry who

will focus on identifying

what sources of natural dyes are

in the area. How big is the

potential? So, later, our friends

from the Faculty of Engineering will get samples

obtained from friends in the forest.

Check them again in the laboratory so that

later, overall,

we will map each area, one

source of natural dyes, so many

liters per year, for example, to be able to

get natural dye sources by

harvesting mangroves or plants

in peatlands sustainably. We

also have to see the capacity of the

craftsmen community there who

will then utilize the natural dyes.

We also have from the Faculty of economics,

social and political sciences, and also the Faculty of Cultural Sciences

Because there is tourism, there is

social development, and also look at the

economic aspects, so this will be done in an

integrated cross-

sectoral approach, potentially physically,

potentially Chemical Engineering, a certain percentage

economically and socially, it

will be combined How to become an

attractive business, then

tourists who visit the

mangrove area, we prepare good

ecotourism, then later

when the batik is finished,

there are good souvenirs, later when the

mangrove products are finished, there are

food souvenirs or

other local products, here there are seafood,

there are fish products, there are various kinds, and we

will help the community prepare

the ecosystem

[Music]

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

This year we are conducting research

entitled local economic development

in peat and mangrove wetland ecosystems

in 5 provinces, there are several

main activities, the first is data collection,

in this data collection, we also

invite 54 students from forestry,

tourism, and

social and community development,

the students live with the community

for one month to collect

various potential challenges

faced by the community in the

themes that are the main topics of

this research

in the Riau Islands in Batam City

in particular

We focus on the theme of mangrove ecotourism,

we discuss with the community from 9

villages

to jointly

develop the

potentials owned by the

community,

especially regarding ecotourism in the

mangrove ecosystem in 4 other provinces

in South Kalimantan,

Riau, Jambi, and South Sumatra. We

focus on the theme of natural colors.

How the community

has the potential for

very abundant natural resources that are very strong to

become natural dye materials,

including very

creative and innovative craftsmen to

apply natural dyes in

their works. Well, after

collecting the data, we then carry out

capacity building together with

the community together with the

local government

to discuss and practice

ecotourism in Batam City and

natural dyes in other provinces. The response from the

local government and also the community is

quite good. They have enthusiasm to

jointly develop natural dyes,

especially in 4 provinces they also have

embryos. They already have groups that are

ready to apply.

We just have to push them together. How to

develop it is

not an easy task.

We work in 15 sub-districts, 15 villages in

8 districts in 5 provinces in a

fairly short time,

gather together to discuss

with hundreds of people from all

sub-districts and additionally, in the

field there are people from outside the village

location who want to join later. we

also accommodate

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

so mangrove ecotourism

is actually an effort to bridge

How our interests

in conserving land, especially ecosystems,

with the economic interests of the community,

especially the local community's economy,

meaning that so far mangrove conservation is

often threatened by

community movements that carry out logging and

utilization for

interests that are

more directed towards the economy

in the future, it is hoped that mangrove ecotourism

can become a third alternative way

to manage mangrove ecosystems so that they are

more beneficial in a sustainable manner,

both for the sake of

conservation preservation and also

improving the welfare of the community

[Music]

in the implementation of mangrove rehabilitation,

brgm takes a

rural or sub-district development approach where we

carry out community best

conservation activities with the Desa Mandiri

mangrove care program, well, in implementing

the activities, we also gather

partnership support from various parties,

including the local government, in

this case the Batam City Government, then the village

or sub-district government, and also

universities and the private sector. Currently,

we are at the location of the old village which has

become an ecotourism location

that we have developed since 2021

together with Gadjah Mada University

through the GM bar coffee shop program in

rekacita with a collaborative program,

participation and innovation, the main goal

is how the name of public education

by involving universities and

students and also fostering enthusiasm

from the community to be able to maintain

peat and mangroves in Batam, especially

now we see areas that

have been protected by the community

being planted by them

independently and we provide

capacity building to

them, the hope is that this activity can

help accelerate

mangrove rehabilitation activities in Batam City

so that Batam City is not only known

as an industry but also as

one of the tourist destinations, especially ecotourism

based on Eco mangrove

[Music]

tourist visits to Batam along

with the Riau Islands for

Indonesia have a

fairly positive contribution, ranking second

after Bali in 2019, almost

all districts based on the

RDR of Batam City have

tourism areas. So

we will maximize the tourism potential in each district,

especially for its mangroves,

its islands, its seas, its

coral reefs also have great

potential to be developed in the

future, we hope that the studies

made will be meaningful input

for us in the future for

the development of destinations, especially

ecotourism in Batam City, Riau Islands,

Indonesia

[Music]

this year we are starting to compile

potential tour packages that may be

developed and offered

and that will be an activity that will be

carried out by the community So we

will

accompany the community in preparing

this tour package so that it can be

offered to the market and we hope that

next year there will be some that will be running

in the second year the progress of

community-based environmental management is very encouraging because

first of all there are already those who have directly

tried to manage ecotourism in

their location behind the field Then

secondly from the results of capacitive building

in the second year a

Sustainable Mangrove Forum has been formed based on

the spirit of togetherness the spirit to

face the struggle together

based on love for mangroves so

from this

last step we hope that in the

following year the forum that has been

formed can become a means of communication

and a means of exchanging experiences

and building enthusiasm to

carry out

community-based mangrove conservation

and obtain sustainable economic benefits

containing a joint commitment Ladies and Gentlemen

that we agree today

together to form a Sustainable Mangrove Forum

with the agreement that firstly to maintain

and preserve mangroves Then

secondly to develop the local economy and

when working together to continue to

grow and develop in the future

together Ladies and Gentlemen yes starting from Prof.

Catur and Lestari Ponorogo

Okay first time we all enter

Thank you Ladies and Gentlemen

[Music]

[Music]

our activities are focused on How

we revitalize the

natural dye industry and also How

artisan communities especially use

natural dyes for their products Is

that sajirangan in South Kalimantan

Is woven fabric in Riau whether batik

in Jambi and other products in

South Sumatra have grown

back has given

back confidence that we Nusantara have a

very large source of natural dyes

part of our activities is

to physically identify the

sources of natural dyes and we

found in these 4 provinces a total of around

200 sources of natural dyes and

hopefully in the

laboratory the quantity will be

good and the quality can be

relied upon to become a source of natural dyes

the goal then what

each of these regions will become a

national supplier of natural dyes suppliers of

Nusantara natural dyes foster a

new passion for the local natural dye industry

foster a new passion for

policy makers to make appropriate policies

that support the growth of the

natural dye industry and

thus the sources of natural dyes

whether it is from mangroves Are those

plants in the peat that

become a way to preserve

our wealth the wealth of natural dye sources the

wealth of peat and also mangroves

so our optimism so

our offer to join how to conduct

research How to encourage MSMEs

How to encourage craftsmen And also

how to encourage provincial

and district governments to jointly

support the revival of

preserving natural dyes for the

glory of Nusantara

[Music]

it is hoped that from this collaboration

massive production and application of natural dyes will be built and structured starting from upstream,

namely identifying the potential for

natural dyes in each region,

we first identify the

potential for natural dyes

there. After that, research is carried out

on the content and

production planning. It is hoped that

this production will be made by the

local community in small production units

so that natural dyes can be produced

from there and then applied to

craftsmen so that starting from the upstream of

the plant, production and application

and marketing will take place

systematically in an area.

Therefore, in the construction of the Paso guru

Hilir floor, this natural dye requires

cooperation from various parties.

Actually, if we read what is

in nature, both in the forest and in

community areas, there are many types

that have the potential to be a source of

natural dyes. Unfortunately, there are many things

that we must also understand that the benefits

of

natural dyes are not the only ones.

So, if for example, there is a plant that has a

much stronger fruit potential,

just let it go for

fruit plants. So, what we are looking for are

plants that have

high potential as a source of

natural dyes and can add value to

the plant. Then

there is another thing that must be considered,

namely

when we know the material that

we have to take is the leaves,

flowers, fruit, or maybe the bark,

so the method of taking it must also be

in accordance with the plant. So, what

Sustainable plants should not be

killed

[Music]

because the known natural ones

will be the potential of an

area Then

the possibility of becoming a

natural dye with various characteristics will be studied so

from

its nature Can it be a

strong natural dye that is then

fade-resistant and so on those properties

then it can be decided that the

natural dye can be produced well

this natural dye will be

produced through several stages

namely through the extraction stage then

can continue with the process of making

powder or concentrate with

[Music]

[Music]

the peat and mangrove restoration agency

together with friends from UGM

Gadjah Mada University are looking for a formula How

to develop

community industry in peat villages one

of which is developing a

natural dye fabric industry yes natural dye crafts

and this is widely pursued by

women's groups so the hope is that

in addition to restoring

humidity levels and peat we also

eee improve How to manage

peat more sustainably more

friendly like that including developing

its economic potential with the note that the

biodiversity of the types of

plants that used to exist

and have potential we need to develop

again and that is part of

how we restore peatlands

[Music]

what we see is actually we are linked

with the Makmur Jaya forest women's farmer group

it seems they have It has

been established for a long time

and its production has been

exported to Yes, it has been sent to several

regions outside So we see that it is

quite established for the group, which is

indeed a lot of drinks,

for example, bandrek, then

red ginger, kencur rice, which is now being

developed again with the help of brgm,

which is providing training on

natural dyes Well, seeing the potential that

exists because this is a peat area and

also in the yard there are many

varieties, I made this also something that

can be developed in the future, we

had a meeting with the mothers and

they really want to

improve themselves so they can participate in

producing it, training and production,

and I think this, if it is carried out

seriously, of course with the

help of

training and mentoring by brgm

and from the government, God willing,

this intention will be realized because I see that the

group of mothers is very solid

I think that has

very good potential

[Music]

[Music]

This devil is also designed in the

form of groups so that the

natural dye material activity can be

more sustainable, more sustainable because

later if for example there is one person,

for example, who is

prevented from continuing the

natural dye assistance activity, it can be continued

by his friends, it continues

like that, so the hope is that later

natural dye materials can develop and

penetrate the group other mothers also

so there must be a system here there are groups

that plant there are groups that

produce there are groups that can

maintain the quality control of the coloring

and there are groups that make

derivative products and Then there are

groups that can market the

derivative products based on natural dyes

so that will be sustainable the

key word is a

natural dye-based system

[Music]

our natural colors are ready

[Applause]

lurking this is funded by the Ministry of

Education and Culture through the

matching fun scheme And we have extraordinary partners

in your restoration agency

and mangroves

as partners who have been together for 2 years

we hope that what

we do through ecotourism through

natural pewan can contribute to the

preservation of

conservation in peatland and

mangrove ecosystems all friends hopefully

there is a good opportunity so that we can

meet again next year at a location that

may add with a theme that

may also be added

and we remain enthusiastic amidst all the

limitations that exist amidst all the

challenges that exist hopefully what

we do more or less can

contribute to the residents in

the community in the research location and

hopefully can

be a reference to be applied in

other locations that have

similar natural resource potential

see you friends next year

Healthy greetings Greetings, this is the

second year, hopefully we will continue in the

third year,

strengthening the various initiatives that

we have started now, there are

potential sources that exist locally,

there are economic activities, there are Eco prints, there are

batik and so on that are related

to natural dyes, there are

women's groups, there are

artisan community groups

who are all

Happy, ready to work together

to welcome the new era, the era after the

pandemic, the era of ecotourism, hopefully

with ecotourism with natural dyes,

our community will become more

prosperous, the

mangroves and peatlands will be sustainable,

and we are all Happy, we all

feel

responsible because we can

inherit natural resources that were

inherited by our ancestors,

now we will inherit them to

you, we wait for the next opportunity
