The “multipurpose community building” we funded in Mandalamekar, on the Indonesian island of Java, is living up to its name, our field rep in Indonesia reports.

Meanwhile, locals continue to patrol their 267-acre no-take forest reserve, congregating every Saturday at a bamboo meeting post in the forest.
