Jakarta, 17 March 2008 © JEEF/AMAN/Telapak; supported by GISPRI and produced by Gekko Studio

- Dayak Punan "Our Forest, Our Life"
- Seko "the Last Paradise in the Hearth of Sulawesi"
- The Indegenous People of KNASAIMOS

At present, Indonesian forests are in very dangerous situation due to massive exploitation that has been happened in the past couple of years. Every year, areas as big as 3 times of island of Bali are beeing destructed.
In the other hand – different with the general situation – there are still hope, especially in the ancestral forests that are still being managed by the indegenous people. Forest for them means not only the number of standing stock, but it is related with their religion, wisdoms and many king of socio-cultural aspects.
Dayak Punan community in Malinau (Kalimantan island) depend on their forest for collecting eaglewood (gaharu), Seko people in North Luwu (Sulawesi) get benefit from non timber forest products such as resin and rattan for fullfilling their livelihood, Knasaimos tribe in South Sorong (Papua) consider the forests as their own mother. Initiative to defend the forest, are facing huge challenges. The indigenous people still worry if their forest will be converted into large scale plantation, forest concession or mining exploitation.

About Us

 

Sharing the Knowledge
Curiosity is the intrinsic nature of humans. The modern-day advancement in technology is producing new technologies to create a better life and is making information accessible in many forms (printed or electronic media). However, much of the information accumulated so far is out of the reach of the people who need it. Information distortion and gaps in data delivery are two common problems due to the absence of media that can serve as a hub for delivering and transferring information and knowledge.



Company Profile
GEKKO studio is an audio-visual business unit of Perkumpulan Telapak dedicated to delivering and sharing messages through the web and audio-visual media. GEKKO designs simple but effective messages for each target group while at the same time respecting the principles of information transparency.

GEKKO is dedicated to bringing “the centre of knowledge” to “the target groups” by eliminating the current distortion through easy-to-understand design aimed to deliver know-how information to open room for inspiration and improvement to the target groups’ skills.

GEKKO works with community groups in both rural and urban areas in issues such as how to improve information for health and sanitation services, the environment, education as well as economic and cultural enhancement.


Work Program
GEKKO has the work program entitled SHARE THE WORLD FOR BETTER LIFE, which represents our efforts to proliferate information concerning practical, effective technologies to rural and urban communities, which can be used to improve their life quality. In this program Gekko Studio embarks on initial researches to identify the kind of information the target groups need to open way to social engineering that is in accordance with the existing cultural values.
