Fauna & Flora International (FFI) and the Rufford Foundation held a two day mini-conference for a selection of Rufford Small Grant (RSG) for Nature award winners from Indonesia.
The beautiful tropical island of Sabang, northern Aceh provided an inspiring location to hold this first ever Indonesia RSG conference, which was attended by 16 grantees. Participants ranged from first-time RSG recipients (7) to second RSG recipients (3) to those Booster recipients (6). The first day was allocated for project presentations, which were designed to highlight the logical progression in project implementation and evolution of project design from the first RSG to a second RSG to Booster. The second day involved a field trip to an FFI marine project site, including visiting a mangrove forest rehabilitation site with the local customary marine leader.
