On 18 February in Bogor, IRI Indonesia joined a coalition coordination meeting on the Indigenous Peoples Bill alongside Kaoem Telapak, AMAN, Sawit Watch, Kemitraan, BPAN, PPMAN, and other coalition members. The meeting reviewed advocacy progress, assessed political opportunities and constraints, and prepared for a West Java regional consolidation planned for 25–26 February in Bandung. Discussions focused on building a shared position on the bill, widening the movement’s support base, and designing broader mobilization beyond policy circles. Planned outreach included campuses, cultural spaces, public discussions, film screenings, seminars, and engagement with Indigenous Peoples communities, students, farmers, workers, academics, artists, religious groups, women’s organizations, and wider civil society. By helping expand the coalition’s reach beyond insiders, IRI Indonesia is supporting the wider public pressure needed to advance one of the country’s most important forest and rights protections.
