MAMA MARIODE

In the future, all of our forest will vanish
for you and your grandchildren.

Because the company kept taking it until
all the forest was gone.

That's why we are still protecting this
small chunk of forest.

We are guarding this customary forest.

So, you need to think about you and your
great grandchildren's future. Where will
you find your food?

Where will you grow your food?

Where can you find wood to build your house?

We, as your parents, are thinking about
your future.

That's why we are maintaining the last
piece of our forest.

So, after this, we will go right up to our
forest and visit our land.

For now, the forest is a small piece of
land and we're trying to protect it.

This forest has nearly vanished.

Please, let there be no more
corporations trying to make fields here.

Now there are these palm oil plantations.

The very first time they started a
plantation, we blockaded this area.

That's when the palm plantation was
still up there. It's hard to see from here,

And all of this area was still intact,
still a big forest.

We erected a blockade.

Then the Henrison Persada company
destroyed it piece by piece when they came.

They are the same company that came
previously.

I warned the government,
I already gave them a warning.

We've already told the company that this
is enough now!

Even if it's a government program.

If the government has a program to cut down
this forest, my husband and I will never agree,

because we think about our children and
our grandchildren.
