SURVIVAL UNDER THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

THE INDONESIA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The global situation regarding infection with the virus COVID 19 seems to be getting worse with the disease out of control in many key countries around the world. This situation extends the expected recovery of Ecolodges Indonesia from September 2021 to at least the middle of 2022. Our current financial plans expect funds to run out at current expenditure around August 2021 with greatly reduced staff salaries.<\/p>\n

The INDONESIA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION \u2013 OUR WORLD (ICFOW) was legalised in May 2020 with the intention of helping our company increase its conservation programs during COVID and obtain extra income to augment salaries of our staff, many of which have been reduced by 80%. Activities have been developed in each lodge chosen by the staff. Updates on the progress of these activities, designated as Phase 1<\/strong>, \u00a0can be reviewed on our Blog https:\/\/ecolodgesindonesia.com\/blog\/<\/a>, and social media sites \u00a0especially Facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EcolodgesIndonesia\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Support from the government is low or non-existent and we need your help<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This week, we hope that information on Phase I<\/strong> programs, including interim reports to donors<\/strong>, will be described on the web pages of ICFOW activated on the web https:\/\/ecolodgesindonesia.com\/conservation-foundation\/<\/a> These programs are six, Agriculture<\/em> at Kelimutu Crater Lakes Ecolodge,\u00a0 Goat production<\/em> at Satwa Sumatra Ecolodge,, Tree planting in the fire torn Tanjung Putting National Park (staff of the Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge, Bird Guide training of our staff<\/em> at the Mbeliling Mountain Ecolodge, a Fund to support our Central Office staff<\/em> who have sacrificed their income for company survival and a Development Fund<\/em> where donor funds are used according to the Foundation Management Board. Donors can specify a program or place funds in the Development Fund<\/em>. There are facilities to donate as little as one Australian dollar to larger figures<\/strong>. All funds given are receipted and they will be sent regular donor reports.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Phase 2 programs<\/strong> are being planned which include: (a) extension of our agricultural activities at Kelimutu including fish, pig, poultry and\u00a0 cattle production at Kelimutu, (b) support for the Fire Protection units in the Way Kambas National Park (Satwa staff), (c) extension of our tree planting activities at Tanjung Putting with an aim of planting more than 15,000 trees on 15 ha (currently we have planted 3,000 on 3 ha). A travel company in the Netherlands, All for Nature https:\/\/www.allfornature.nl\/<\/a> has stated support for (b) above at Satwa and has committed a large donation. This is exciting<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Over twenty plus years, most of our staff have changed from either destroying the environment by illegal activities such as poaching, cutting down trees, or assisting Palm Oil companies illegally burning the forests. Through ecotourism and company training, the vital and now loyal group in our four lodges have become committed conservationists and most importantly have influenced the communities where they live to begin new activities to protect this vital environment. Ecolodges Indonesia is the only company in Indonesia dedicated to building lodges on the edge of national parks and using sustainable jobs for poor people around parks as a conservation measure. They must survive and to do so we need help <\/strong>by donating to their wellbeing through the programs of our legal Indonesia Conservation Foundation \u2013 Our world (an NGO certified by the Indonesia Government).<\/p>\n

Situasi global terkait pandemi tampaknya semakin parah mengingat banyaknya negara di dunia yang belum bisa mengendalikan penyakit ini. Situasi ini akan memperpanjang pemulihan masa darurat perusahaan kami sampai dengan pertengahan 2022. Rencana keuangan kami saat ini memperkirakan kalau dana yang tersedia hanay akan cukup setidaknya setidaknya sampai bulan \u00a0Agustus 2021, dengna pengurangan semua gaji staff.<\/p>\n

YAYASAN KONSERVASI INDONESIA – DUNIA KAMI (YKI \u2013 OW) disahkan pada bulan Mei 2020, dengan tujuan membantu perusahaan kami \u00a0untuk meningkatkan program konservasi selama pandemi, sebagai penghasilan tambahan untuk pegawai kami, yang sudah mengalami pemotongan gaji hingga 80%. Program kegiatan telah dikembangkan di setiap lodge. Perkembangan kegiatan ini yang disebut sebagai Tahap 1, dapat dilihat dalam blog kami https:\/\/ecolodgesindonesia.com\/blog\/<\/a>, dan juga dalam situs media social kami khususnya Facebook https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/EcolodgesIndonesia\/<\/a><\/p>\n

Dukungan dari pemerintah setempat sangat minim dan kami membutuhkan bantuan Anda.<\/p>\n

Dalam minggu ini, kami berharap informasi tentang program Tahap I, termasuk laporan kepada donor, dapat dilihat di halaman web YKI-BK https:\/\/ecolodgesindonesia.com\/conservation-foundation\/<\/p>\n

Ada 6 kegiatan dalam\u00a0 tahap I, yakni :<\/strong><\/p>\n
