Meet the guest speakers from Indonesia for the upcoming online #EcoCreativeCluster event (link in bio). The first guest is
@trees4trees .
Trees4Trees is a non-profit foundation that focuses on renewing the environment and empowering local communities across Indonesia through planting trees, education, and related activities.
Mangroves produce oxygen, absorb CO2, prevent coastal erosion, and provide essential nurseries for fish. Since 2022, Trees4Trees with their partners and supporters has been planting over 190,000 mangroves in Kampung Laut to restore areas degraded by deforestation. Kampung Laut, meaning “ocean village” in the Indonesian language, is home to the largest mangrove ecosystem in Central Java, surrounded by over 8,000 hectares of coastal trees and wetlands.
In this episode, we meet two groups from Indonesia, whose collaborative partnership intersects environmental activism and natural dyeing, through mangrove: Trees4Trees and Sodiqin, a batik artist and natural dyer
@batikmekarcanting .
So humbled that Trees4Trees allocates their fee for this event as a tree donation under the EcoCreative Cluster name: around 50-60 trees will be planted in their working area. An e-certificate and a World Identification Number to track them on trees4trees.org will be issued🤩🙏
With a Q&A with audience.
📆 Sun 17 May 2026
⏰ 11:00-12:15 (UK Time), 17:00-18:15 (Western Indonesian Time)
