Aura Mahakam: Indigenous youth voices for forest protection

About Hutan Itu Indonesia

Hutan Itu Indonesia (HII- Forest is Indonesia) is a nationally recognized movement builder that, since 2016, has pioneered asset-based, youth-led campaigns to foster urban civic action for forest protection and biodiversity in Indonesia. With a growing ecosystem of 14 urban youth hubs, over 500 active volunteers, and viral campaigns such as #JagaHutan and a nation-wide recognized declaration of Indonesia Forest Day on August 7th, HII has proven how joyful, culturally resonant storytelling can shift narratives and inspire real behavior change among Indonesian youth. HII’s campaigns have reached millions online and shaped the national discourse on forests through music, art, social media, and public rituals, making it one of Indonesia’s most credible forces in movement communication and civic mobilization.
