Mama Bambu Empowers Women and Advances Sustainable Bamboo Industry in Indonesia

In the arid islands of East Nusa Tenggara, a remarkable transformation is underway, spearheaded by the unstoppable force of Mama Bambu (Mothers of Bamboo). This group of empowered women is not only championing sustainable bamboo farming but also reshaping societal norms and combating climate change. With approximately 532 members and driven by the visionary Yayasan Bambu Lingkungan Lestari (YBLL) or Environmental Bamboo Foundation, Mama Bambu is sowing the seeds of change by planting 1.2 million bamboo seeds across seven districts, propelling Indonesia's burgeoning bamboo industry to new heights.
