Adam

Adam is a campaign and advocacy staff member at the Elang Association, an environmental NGO, in Pekanbaru, Riau. In his daily life, Adam assists residents in two villages in Kampung Dayun, Riau, located near the forest, to obtain their forest management rights, particularly in social forestry schemes. "In order to be able to voice people's rights, the method I use is to live in or live directly with them. By living with them, I can find out what their needs are. Hence, I can develop a communication strategy so that the government or other related parties pay attention to them.” Together with his team, Adam is currently facilitating residents fighting for community forest, particularly in obtaining legal documents as a legal basis for the community to obtain their rights to manage the land. Through the We Create Change program, Adam wants to enhance his skills in digital campaigns so he can voice the stories of the people he assists more effectively.
