Works

He became involved with environmental protection while an agriculture student at Haluoleo University in Kendari. Along some friends, he began a non-profit organization called Yascita to expose illegal logging activities in Indonesia. [1] Because no media outlet would publish his findings which were deemed controversial, he started his own news radio station called Radio Swara Alam (The Voice of Nature) in 1999. In 2003, he set up a local Television station called Kendari TV. Much of the programming on the station was run by local communities. [1]

In 2002, he started Network For the Forest (JAUH), to help communities make a profit using safe logging techniques. They started by teaching farmers door-to-door to explain their organization's strategy. This uses a system of Eco-certifications, which follows standards laid out by the Forest Stewardship Council. Furniture and other goods that are labeled with this are able to be sold at a premium at retail outlets. [2]

He later joined Telapak in 2006. [3] He helped the organization transition from just environmental awareness to enacting community logging.[ citation needed ]

He obtained his master's degree at MM Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) [4] of Trisakti University. [5] He is also working at CECT (Center for Entrepreneurship, Change and Third Sector), [6] a think tank of the postgraduate programs MM Sustainability (previously MM CSR) and MM Community Entrepreneurship (CE) at the University of Trisakti, Jakarta.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Social entrepreneurship</span> Approach to develop, fund and implement solutions to social or environmental issues

Social entrepreneurship is an approach by individuals, groups, start-up companies or entrepreneurs, in which they develop, fund and implement solutions to social, cultural, or environmental issues. This concept may be applied to a wide range of organizations, which vary in size, aims, and beliefs. For-profit entrepreneurs typically measure performance using business metrics like profit, revenues and increases in stock prices. Social entrepreneurs, however, are either non-profits, or they blend for-profit goals with generating a positive "return to society". Therefore, they use different metrics. Social entrepreneurship typically attempts to further broad social, cultural and environmental goals often associated with the voluntary sector in areas such as poverty alleviation, health care and community development.
