Andi Ar Rahman, an INSPIRASI alumn from the 2025 cohort, is leading the Masure Project with a team of 16 members. Masure is a local word used by the Makean community in North Maluku, meaning “good.”

The project uses Nature Services Monitoring (Pemantauan Layanan Alam/PLA), a community-based approach that enables people to collect environmental data from their own surroundings. Andi was introduced to this method by his mentors, Cate and Ross, during his time in Auckland, where he also learned about the related concept of Ecosystem Services Monitoring.

Theodora Melsasail, an INSPIRASI alumn from the 2025 cohort, shares the latest journey of Kewang Kacil Lumoli, where children are learning traditional knowledge directly from their elders.
