Measures Supported

1. All programs were planned by the villages via the L.K.M.D. (Village Development Committee), agreed upon by Local Gov. at village, sub-regency and regency levels and submitted to us for help. In this period we helped 40 villages with roads, dykes and canals and dyke/roads protecting rice land from fresh and salt water inundation. The villages helped were the more remote and the poorer villages of Cilacap Regency. The communities, local Gov., village organization all helped in implementing the project. Land and labor freely given, e.g. in dyke / road base projects the stipend paid per cubic meter of earth shifted is IDR 10.000 – we pay IDR 5.000 as an incentive and the other IDR 5.000 is a local input. Regency Gov. supplied asphalt, cement, gravel, road rollers and expertise from Dept. of Public Works. On initiation the programs produce hope for a brighter future, enthusiasm to be taking hold of their own development, increase in incomes because of increased produce and cheaper transport to markets. Access for all social, economic and development is achieved Dykes etc. are wide enough to take the pressures of fresh and sea waters and roads can be traversed even in the rainy season.

2. The 40 projects consisted of road building – the rocks and gravel being bought in poorer, rocky villages, opening up opportunities to quarry rocks etc. for other programs and money is paid to the earth movers in the most remote villages.

3. 19 small projects building community spirit, social capital and social cohesion were implemented.

4. Amount of stone quarried – 24.803 mts³ Amount of gravel quarried – 508 mts³ Amount of earth moved-63.250 mts³

5. We organized workshops on child protection and all program had to be shown as child friendly. We were invited to Islam religion festivals and asked to speak on religion tolerance and development. There was more than 5.000 Islam’s present at these events. The evening before the Misereor Workshop presentation I met with all Kiai’s etc. at a Hotel in town and Y.S.B.S. paid for hotel, accommodation etc.. we had a number of meetings in the regency with heads of appropriate Depts. and Planed implementation together.

6. A number of the staff have done courses as reported earlier and there are weekly and monthly meetings for all to become aware of all aspects of the program. Our Education Staff has attended workshops etc. at our retreat centre at Kaliori.

7. We are exploring development of land owned by O.M.I. building houses etc. for future funding of B.P.H. etc..

8. We planed and implemented one disaster response program at Jeruklegi and we work with Local Gov. as to the use of our tall buildings in the event of a Tsunami and we had a Tsunami Warning + 3 months ago and many took refuge in our buildings. We are developing a fire fighting ability at A.M.N. for our own needs and that of nearby kampungs.

9. We are exploring an external evaluation with Gajah Mada Univ. and Chris of Satu Nama.

1. Social Capital and Social Cohesion – measured by the en-thusiasm and happiness of all concerned – e.g. seen in interviews for the Misereor Film and the meetings of Misereor Workshop Participants and villagers in Pelindu-kan Village meeting place and also with representatives of project areas at the meeting in the workshop room Y.S.B.S. Offices – comprising Kiai’s, local Influential People, Politicians from the three main Parties, Inter Religions Communication Forum, Government Officials, Gender Leaders etc.

2. Access to markets, increased income; access to villages, e.g. Bugel market place, gold shops, gas bottle supply etc.

3. Access to mobile Health Clinic; access to electricity; Access to cell phone communication – pricing assessment of pro-duce; access to teachers, Government People, etc. ; access to Schools outside the village; access to Social Intercourse in the Village; access to irrigation water via canal created when moving soil for road base; access to building materi-als – homes, schools etc.

4. Development of Community via “GOTONG ROYONG” value system.

5. Increase in self esteem – taking hold of ones future. 6. Good Governance – honesty, necessity for success of pro-

ject. 7. Inter Faith Dialogue of Action – working together. 8. Strengthening of position of moderate Kiai’s – Sidelining

extremists. Examples :

1. Bojong, Bringkeng, Grugu road. – Villagers had refused to pay taxes until road was repaired. After repairs they paid their taxes.

2. Brebeg village – Public transport vehicles refused to oper-ate due to poor condition of the road on repairs began operating again.

3. Bantarsari – Bugel – Penikel Road – getting to junior and Senior High School was so difficult some students droped out. Even when partly repaired they restarted school.

4. Kamulyan – Cikedondong, Kedung Wadas, Citembong. Was impassible due to continuous rains, flood etc. local produce such as coconut sugar – a very important pro-duce of small farmers could not reach market – road

IV. PROJECT OUTCOMES.

partly repaired small trucks again gained access. The Regency supplied gravel and will supply free asphalt (Bitumen) to perfect the road.

5. Jeruklegi Kulon – some years ago villagers began plant-ing commercial trees but as access was too difficult no one would buy the timber. On initiation of hard surfac-ing traders immediately began buying their timber.

6. Ujung Gagak, Karanganyar, Cibeureum, Pelindukan, Bugel, Penikel.

7. On completing canals the river brought in sediment and raised the land level so they were able to plant and har-vest rice in hundreds of hectares of land with a marvel-ous crop due to fertility of sediment . at Misereor work-shop visit joy was palpable.

8. Extracting sand from the river and placing it a round mosques and schools helped build community and Inter Faith co-operation

Unforeseen impacts.

1. Gajah Mada Post Graduate Faculty of Community Based Infrastructure development Declared Y.S.B.S. Program as a Laboratory for Faculty and Students and we were asked to participate in Curriculum Development, Lecture on how to implement Programs, participate in panel discussion etc. – Staff and Students visited Cilacap, met with heads of Gov. Dept’s and visited project sites and a student now prepares his thesis on Social Capital, Inter Faith dialogue, etc. created by Y.S.B.S. Programs and an M.O.U. between local Gov. – Gajah Mada Univ. and Y.S.B.S. has been prepared and will be signed at some big Gajah Mada Function by the Rector, Bupati and Y.S.B.S. Director.

2. Because of our perceived ability by Gov. Officials to influence the peoples of the Sea Villages, Segara Anakan Lagoon and Nusakambangan Island the Ministry of Justice and Ministry of Forrest’s asked us to sign an M.O.U. handing over Flora and Fauna replanting and protecting to us and this was witnessed by both Ministers at a ceremony on the Island. The Provincial head of the Justice Dept. has visited the program many times and the Vice Governor of central Java – Ibu Rustiningsih also visited our project sites and declared support for our program.

3. The wife of the former president – Abdurrahman Wahid (Gus Dur deceased) has asked me to accompany her on a Ramadan Safari to Nusakambangan Island – meet with inmates etc. and discuss an end to the death penalty/ this again is seen to be because of our impact on the people of the area because of the projects seen to alleviate poverty etc.

4. Diverting the sediment into waterlogged areas and taking sand from the river lessened the amount of sediment entering the Segara Anakan lagoon and silting up spawning sites of fish shrimp and sea creatures hence helping the fishing areas in and outside the lagoon – areas dependent on lagoon spawning areas.

5. Kajian Akbar talks – because of our exposure in the infrastructure program we have been asked to give talks at Islam mass meetings on interfaith dialogue and development.

6. Increase in incomes – rice harvest areas extended + better price using cell phones for quotes and decreased cost of transport.

7. Opening of market place, shops etc. in Bugel 8. Small transporters – motor bike taxis etc. helped greatly by

the better roads.

Introduction

As the follow up to the M.O.U. between Central Java Province Law and Human Rights Department and The Foundation of the Bringing About of Prosperity and Good Will (YSBS Cilacap) No. WUM.01.10-323, dated 7 April 2010, in the same year YSBS started the reforestation project in Solok Jero area, in Nusakam-bangan Island. The purpose of the reforestation pro-ject is to restore the forest in Nusakambangan Island to the previous ecosystem and give a significant contri-bution on reducing the danger of global warming. Therefore, we prioritize the indigenous plants from the Island to be planted and the strategy that we use is organizing and recruiting the settlers around the area so that they can participate actively in implementing

the reforestation program in Nusakambangan Island. To keep the sustainability and the success of the pro-ject we carry out the system what is called “tumpang sari”, which means in the same area among those main and hard trees which may not be cut or logged they also plant and cultivate sorts of vegetable called “palawija”.

The project was officially confirmed by the Vice Gov-ernor of Central Java Pronvince, Mrs. Rustriningsih, and witnessed by the Law and Human Rights Department of Central Java Province, Mr. Chairudin Idrus, on May 1st 2011.

The following is our report on the implementation of the project so far. We are also attaching some pictures on the project.

Seedling The first step of the reforestation is seedling the in-digenous plants. The seedling nursery is done in the area to guarantee the efficiency and the indigenousness of the plants. The seedling planting is done both in the base camp of the project and in the settler’s land. The seedlings in the base camp functions as the samples, whereas the ones in the settler’s land is meant to re-duce the distance between the seedling area and the reforestation area which can minimize the cost of mov-ing the young plants to the reforestation area.

Pic 1. Showing the area which has been covered by the indigenous plant from the island. With the appropriate treatment the plants grew well and healthily.

The Improvement of the Project.

The seedlings in this Base camp gives a very important education to the settlers, for they can learn the ap-propriate seedling process and study how to do the seedlings correctly, also how to overcome the plant disease they might encounter. The readied seedlings then are taken to the settlers‘ area.

The implimentation of tumpang sari system to support the project.

As we mentioned above that in this reforesta-tion project we carry out Tumpang Sari system. We chose that system because there has been no better system to support the sustainability of the project with the least cost so far. Tumpang Sari system means the settlers can plant vegetables / palawija among the timber or the fruit trees. So, the settlers who are involved in the project do not receive any payment, but they can still har-vest from the vegetable and fruit trees which they plant among the indigenous plants. This sys-tem proves to function very well, where thie sym-biosis take places.

Due to the failure of the paddy harvest the previous year, YSBS helped the farmers by donat-ing money to buy corn seed, lentils kidney beans, and green peas. Those plants grew very well and the first harvest gave a good quality and quantity crop.

Pics 4 - 8 show the seedling in the settler’s area next to their huts.

Instructions for the Non Worker People in Nusakambangan Island

To maintain the security and the success of the refores-tation project in Nusakambangan Island, two years before ( in 2009 ) Nusakambangan Prison authority issued instruc-tions for settlers/non worker people around the Nusakam-bangan Prison area. There are 5 ( five ) prohibitions in that instructions that should be obeyed by all non workers peo-ple in the area, e.g.: prohibition to change the function and mission of Nusakambangan forest, to log the natural trees or planted trees, to open a new area/settlement, to sell or buy land/farmer area, and prohibition to hunt.

The settlers/farmers who are being trained by the Foun-dation have always obeyed those five prohibitions. Unfortunately, those instructions are only directed to the non worker people in Nusakambangan area. Some prob-lems still comes up so far, such as there are still timber-thieves and hunters who come from outside the Nusakam-bangan area (they are not the people who live in Nusakam-bangan Island).

The Reforestation Project managed by the Foun-dation of the Bringing About of the Prosperity and Good Will in Solok Jero area, Nusakambangan Island has shown a satisfying improvement. Tumpangsari system works very well, (warga binaan) the farmers can harvest and the indigenous plants have grown very well. These following pictures show some trees being planted, namely Jabon trees, have grown very well.

The settlers/farmers in Solok Jero who are trained by the foundation have some roles. Besides as the pio-neers who plan the indigenous plants, they also help the forest police to guard the Nusakambangan forest from the timber thieves. As a result, sometimes they have a threat from the timber thieves. Mr. Memet, the Foundation’s coordinator of the reforestation pro-ject, is one of those who have ever been threatened by the timber thieves, because he helped the police to catch the thieves. To protect the farmers from the threat, the Foundation asked for help from the Ma-rines who post in Klaces, Nusakambangan.

The Foundation not only gave donations in the form of seeds and other farming material, but also a training, educational meeting, and discussion on find-ing solution on how to send their children to school for a better future than just farming in Nusakamban-gan Island. Therefore, the Foundation regularly has a meeting with the farmers.

The following picture (18) shows Father Charlie, OMI, is discussing with the farmers on the possibilities of their children going to schools managed by the Foundation with the scholarship from the Foundation. Two schools which are promising enough among oth-ers are: SMK ( Vocational School ) and Akademi Mari-tim Nusantara (Nusantara Maritime Academy). Both have proved to enable the graduates to get jobs quicker with a very well payment. In this case, they can help the parents in Nusakambangan Island.

Spectacles/Problems

Pic. 17 Mr. Memet and the Marines are exchanging the mobile numbers to communicate in case of the threatsor other danger-ous criminal actions.

The Reforestation Project in Nusakambangan Island can only work well if the security is well guaranteed. Therefore, the existence of Warden Squad who work hand in hand with the people in keeping the security is also urgent. The Foundation always makes a coordi-nation and regularly have a meeting with the squad to consolidate the forest security and the farmer safety in Nusakambangan Island.

The Foundation Reforestation Project, especially in Solok Jero area, has just been started. From the evaluation of the first period we can conclude that the Reforestation Project is showing a satisfying pro-gress. Even some of the indigenous trees has grown more than 2 ( two ) meters tall. On the other hand, due to the harvest of Palawija and fruit trees, the farmers become more enthusiastic to succeed the big Reforestation Project in Nusakambangan Island.

Up to the moment, there are 7 hectares of the farmers’ land which still have not been planted with the indigenous plants. This is because of the dry sea-son which makes it unable to plant the indigenous trees. The planting will be done as soon as the next wet season comes. The next wet season is predicted to start in September 2011.

As committed from the beginning, the Founda-tion of the Bringing About of the Prosperity and Good Will still commits to give 1(one) million rupiahs to every farmer who succeeds to plant the indigenous plant and fruit trees in their land. Hopefully with that money they can cultivate more arid savanna to be planted with the indigenous plants and the fruit tress with the Tumpang Sari system so that the Reforesta-tion widens. In that Reforestation area, it is forbidden to plant productive plants, but only the indigenous plants and fruit trees. The farmer/people are not al-lowed to cut or log the trees. They can only harvest the fruits from the trees.

On Thursday, 4 August 2011, after the meeting on The Uncontrolled Forest Logging especially Albiso Trees in Nusakambangan Island, which was held in Cilacap Dis-trict’s Meeting Room, we made a discussion with the Forest Police on working together to support the in-digenous plants seedling in Solok Jero. The result of the discussion was the Forest Police was willing to guide the farmers to find the seed in the reservation forest and train the farmer on how to propagate the seedlings properly in such a way that it produces the high quality indigenous trees. Based on our data, there are 170.000 indigenous seedlings in the polly-bags which are ready to be planted in the wet season.

As the conclusion, we can inform that the Refor-estation Project which is done together with the farm-ers in Solok Jero Nusakambangan has shown a very satisfying result. Regarding about the importance of Reforestation for human life, we are committed to keep on doing the Reforestation Project. We are grateful that the same commitment also happens to Central Java Province Law and Human Rights Depart-ment, Government and parties involved.

This is the report that we can provide so far. We really appreciate and deeply thank for all the support and partnership that have been given so far and in the future (sm).
