A STORY OF HOPE
Batutegi: Seeds of Hope is a powerful 28-minute documentary that tells the inspiring story of a pioneering local conservation movement led by our partners, YIARI.
Originally scouted as a release site for rescued slow lorises, Batutegi has become a beacon of hope through a community-led conservation model that protects wildlife, restores forest habitat and improves local livelihoods.

A LAND UNDER THREAT
This year, the message of conservation, sustainability and hope that is the central to the Batutegi film is even more poignant, due to the devastating impact of wildfires across much of Indonesia.
The land at Batutegi is parched due to this year’s super El Nino and we’ve already experienced some wildfires there. Thankfully, they’ve been less severe than other areas in Indonesia and local firefighters have been able to quickly bring them under control so far. Raising awareness of the ecological significance of this land, and the challenges it faces, is more important than ever.
DON’T FORGET TO CAST YOUR VOTE
We are delighted to have an opportunity to bring this inspiring story to a wider audience and would love to see the film shown on the big screen at Piccadilly Circus next month.
