The EcoNusa Foundation is a non-profit organization that aims to enhance
various local initiatives of Tanah Papua at national and international
levels in an effort to provide support for sustainable management of
natural resources in Indonesia. The EcoNusa Foundation was established on
July 21, 2017 in Jakarta. EcoNusa encourages the development of the
capacity of civil society organizations to conduct advocacy, campaigns,
communication, stakeholder engagement, and dialogue among stakeholders to
meet the sustainable management of natural resources and promote
transparency, conservation, and equality values. To achieve its mission,
EcoNusa carries out several programs including: Local Community Resilience,
Policy Advocacy, Eastern Indonesia Communication Center, and Local Economic
Development.
EcoNusa sees Indonesia's ocean must remain healthy and sustainable in order
to benefit future generations. As a large marine biodiversity country,
Indonesian ocean is also being threatened by human activities. One of the
ocean problems is the current policies and management of marine and
fisheries which have not prioritized sustainable development as the main
pillar of its development. As a result, several conditions of overfishing
in almost all fisheries management areas of the Republic of Indonesia
(WPP-NRI). In addition, communities have not been aware of environmental
issues , this is indicated by the large amount of waste that can be found
in coastal areas and in the sea.
EcoNusa's intervention for marine and fisheries issues is to develop a
strong networks and coalition with NGOs and community groups and other
relevant stakeholders as an observer group to advocate marine and fisheries
policies and management. In the coalition EcoNusa will facilitate various
critical studies, public discussions, and develop recommendations to seek
solutions at various levels.
