Dear readers,
Welcome to the first edition of YPB newsletter in 2008. We would like to share updates of our ongoing projects, as well as our planning in 2008.
We are happy to inform you that LEAD Associate Training (LAT) cohort 13 is now being launched. The first National Training Session has started since 21 April 2008 and will be completed by September 2008, and by November 2008 there will be International Training Session in Mexico. Those who would like to be guest participant please visit our website at www.lead.or.id.
Following the successful story of Bridging Leadership Program (BLP) phase one, --with Aceh Young Leaders, YPB now is preparing the next phase of training. The training will be starting in June this year and will continue for the next 3 years.
LEAD Indonesia has completed the 3-year project on Eco Fish that conserve the marine habitat in Buleleng district, Bali. The project has shown that the fishermen has the commitment to be the guardian of their marine resources and willing to develop their enterprise toward green and fair marine ornamental fish trade. This is a Strategic Partnership program where LEAD Indonesia is fortunate to have Marine Aquarium Council (MAC), Yayasan Reef Check (RC) and Lembaga Pilang as partners to make the project reaches the target.

Toward Sustainable Business: Working with PT. Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper & PT. Aneka Tambang

|
|
workforce, the society surround it, and also from the availability of natural resources to support the business. Awareness and a growing demand to integrate the whole supporting system (nature, workforce, profit and society) as a strategic plan, has led companies to move towards sustainability scheme for their business.

The Marine Resources is Also for Generations to Come
|
"When I did not have the knowledge from LEAD training, I did not care wether the fishing practices will destroy the marine habitat or not. What I have in mind was that I need to catch ornamental fish as many as possible and sell them. Now I understand that using cyanide will destroy the reefs and kills the baby fish. If the fish is gone by now for our existing needs, what is the future my children and my grand grand children? They may not know the fish that I can have it easily by now." (Ketut Baktiyasa, marine ornamental fish fisherman, Gerogak district, Bali). [more]
