Description The Bamboo Village Initiative Program aims to encourage a community-based bamboo industry movement by restoring degraded land and conserving water catchment areas that actively involve community participation in all processes. Capacity building activities were provided to more than 300 people in different communities through field schools that taught the concept of sustainable bamboo management in every stage from seedling, planting, caring, harvesting and using bamboo to improve the community's economy. A total of 175,983 bamboo seedlings were made and an area of 182.13 ha of land has been rehabilitated by collaborative planting of bamboo along the Cumpleng sub-watershed, Brantas watershed and its surroundings.
