Collaborative work for indigenous peoples’ self-reliance and ecosystem protection in the Land of Papua & the Maluku Islands not only requires a good strategy but also strengthens the bond of feelings or “Rasa” between humans and nature. Through the EcoNusa Outlook 2022 on 10 February 2022 with the theme “Rasa Timur”, stories of the bond (Rasa) between humans and nature are conveyed in line with EcoNusa’s work in 2021 with our partners. This activity is also a learning forum for better strategic planning and collaboration in 2022.
