[NBE Pavilion] Stories from The Ground : People Already Building The Future

About this event

The concept of a restorative economy emerges from this challenge. Unlike conventional approaches to sustainable development that primarily seek to reduce the negative impacts of economic activity, a restorative economy starts from the reality of degraded ecosystems and seeks to make ecological restoration part of economic activity itself. It aims to connect ecological recovery with livelihoods, local economic development, social well-being, and long-term resilience. The PRAKARSA has conducted research on restorative economic practices in Indonesia across four locations: Sleman, Katingan, Siak, and Sigi. The research documented different approaches, including soil restoration, peatland restoration, community-based restoration, and multi-stakeholder forest restoration. To communicate these findings and experiences more broadly, The PRAKARSA produced a documentary film entitled “Restorative Economy.” The film presents real experiences from communities and practitioners involved in restoring ecosystems while developing economic opportunities. Documentary storytelling provides a way to connect research and policy discussions with the realities, experiences, and aspirations of people working on the ground.
