Five journalists from various provinces in Sumatra, representing local media and national media contributors, participated in the journalist fellowship program organized by the CARE Indonesia in collaboration with The Society of Indonesian Environmental Journalists (SIEJ) from March 11-14, 2025. This program aims to disseminate the role of women in Berakit Village, Bintan District, in mangrove protection efforts and the enhancement of the local economy through the use of mangrove ecosystem products. The hope is that involving journalists in the women’s empowerment efforts in Berakit Village will inspire women across Indonesia to become more engaged in environmental conservation.
