The Public Policy Indonesia program and the UMD
Environmental Council at the School of Public Policy have the honor of
welcoming Mina Susana Setra tomorrow,
Friday September 19th at 4:00pm in Room 1107 in Van Munching Hall. Please join us.
Ms. Setra is Deputy Secretary General of the Indonesian Indigenous Peoples Alliance of the Archipelago (Aliansi Masyarakat Adat Nusantara or AMAN). She is from the Dayak people, an indigenous group of Kalimantan (Indonesian Borneo).
She will discuss Indigenous Peoples Rights and Forests in Indonesia.
This is an opportunity to meet and talk with one of
the key people involved in working with the President of Indonesia and
others to constitutionally establish communal rights to forests in one
of the three remaining great tropical rainforests
(Indonesia). AMAN is involved internationally with efforts to manage
forests more sustainably through community/indigenous forest rights and
to address the problem of deforestation particularly as a driver of
climate change.
