Program

Pemberdayaan Masyarakat

Program pemberdayaan masyarakat kami bertujuan memperkuat kapasitas dan peran aktif komunitas lokal di Flores sebagai penjaga lingkungan dan pelaku pembangunan berkelanjutan. Dengan memberdayakan masyarakat, terutama kelompok rentan dan adat, kami ingin memastikan konservasi tidak hanya menjadi tanggung jawab pemerintah, tapi juga bagian dari kehidupan sehari-hari warga.

Melalui pelatihan, dukungan usaha berkelanjutan, dan kolaborasi berbasis kearifan lokal, masyarakat Flores dapat mengelola sumber daya alam secara bijak sekaligus meningkatkan kesejahteraan. Ini sejalan dengan visi bersama menjaga warisan alam sekaligus membangun masa depan yang mandiri dan berdaya.
Penguatan Kapasitas Lokal

Meningkatkan kemampuan teknis dan manajerial masyarakat lokal dalam pengelolaan sumber daya alam dan konservasi, melalui pelatihan, pendampingan, dan akses informasi yang relevan.

Peningkatan Kesejahteraan yang Berkelanjutan

Mendorong pengembangan usaha ekonomi berbasis sumber daya alam secara berkelanjutan, seperti ekowisata, pertanian organik, dan kerajinan berbasis kearifan lokal, guna meningkatkan pendapatan dan kualitas hidup masyarakat.

Partisipasi Aktif dalam Pengelolaan Kawasan

Mengajak masyarakat menjadi mitra utama dalam pengelolaan dan pengawasan kawasan konservasi, termasuk pengambilan keputusan dan penerapan praktik konservasi yang adaptif dan ramah lingkungan.

Pelestarian Kearifan Lokal

Melestarikan nilai-nilai budaya dan tradisi masyarakat adat yang mendukung konservasi lingkungan, sekaligus mengintegrasikan kearifan lokal dengan ilmu pengetahuan modern untuk solusi pengelolaan sumber daya alam.
