Description

The ancient whispers of our Adat Law Community—our Local Communities and Indigenous People. From the Nagari in the west to the Ngata in the east, we are a living proof that diversity is not our weakness; it is our greatest shield against the global climate crisis. Through Customary Forests (Hutan Adat), Indonesia is legally securing the living spaces of our indigenous peoples, resolving old conflicts, and preserving traditional knowledge.
