DIY's Young Generation Becomes Guardians of Merapi, Prepares Innovation to Face the Threat of Cold Lava

Young People's Creativity for Merapi Conservation

Head of the DIY Environment and Forestry Service, Kusno Wibowo, appreciated the participants' ideas which combined information, technology, creativity and tourist needs.

According to Kusno, this approach shows that the younger generation is able to present a new perspective in introducing the Merapi area while supporting efforts to preserve it.

The Forest Youthverse Resilience Summit is a space for young people to move from understanding to action. Through creativity and collaboration, they are encouraged to see Merapi not only as a tourist destination, but also as an area with historical and ecological value whose sustainability must be maintained.
