Personal Profile
As a person in the city of Merauke. I am unfortunate to see the temporary environmental damage happening in my place of birth. I believe that indigenous Papuans must again preserve their nature and culture through their local and medicinal plants and teach the younger generation of Papuans to continue to apply traditional farming methods or systems that are more focused on environmental conservation.
