"Go along and place a bid for a Silvery Gibbon Poetic Pieces bangle - the only piece like it in the world - at the Silvery Gibbon charity Art Auction. The Silvery Gibbon Project is a fundraising organization committed to the conservation of the critically endangered Silvery Gibbon, a primate found only in the jungles of Indonesia, and famous for its haunting and beautiful call. On Saturday May 19th, they will be holding an art auction at Perth Zoo, to raise much needed funds to continue their conservation work. Blue Turtles has produced a jewellery piece especially for this fundraising event - a silver bangle inscribed with the words, "Will you hear their call?".  This bangle, along with many original works of art, will be available for you to bid at the auction event. Visit the Silvery Gibbon Project website here for more information."

"Last month Blue Turtles sponsored a tree planting event organised through the new Solo Go Green project in Central Java Indonesia. Solo Go Green is an initiative established by Pak Budhi Purnama, the head of STP Sahid Surakarta, a vocational high school in Sandy's hometown of Solo. [caption id="attachment_2697" align="alignleft" width="275" caption="Doron with Pak Budhi and the director of Balekambang Garden in Solo."][/caption] Recently new to his post as headmaster, Pak Budhi wanted to make the most of his position to create positive environmental change in Indonesia. So, he established the Solo Go Green initiative, starting off with a tree planting event, where over 600 trees were planted on the mountain slopes surrounding Solo, by students from his school and local government and business identities. Blue Turtles was keen to get involved and sponsor the event. We could see that this isn't simply about planting trees in the mountains - it's an opportunity to plant new ideas and cultivate a fresh mentality in a country on the verge of change. [caption id="attachment_2703" align="alignright" width="210" caption="Some of the students from STP Sahid after tree planting at Candi Cetho."][/caption] Indonesia is set to occupy a more influential position on the world stage in the next few years, thanks to its huge population, its rich natural resources and continual economic reform. This means that Indonesia will have more of an impact on the global environment. But perhaps with a more aware population, its impact can be more positive! [caption id="attachment_2707" align="alignleft" width="210" caption="A Javanese Hindu ceremony marked the tree planting. "He/she who sows, will reap.""][/caption] Though generally there is an awareness of climate change and global warming in Indonesia, you get a sense that it usually only receives token attention and lip service - that many people there aren't really seeing the big picture and how it influences their lives and impacts the rest of the world. Through Blue Turtles' involvement in the  Solo Go Green initiative, we hope to play an ongoing role in increasing awareness of environmental issues in Indonesia. By teaming with those already committed to the cause, we hope to help introduce the following ideas to mainstream Indonesia: 1. Dispose of waste thoughtfully (and put an end to the masses of plastic waste that litter Indonesia's waterways) 2. Cut down on the use of plastics 3. Recycle where possible 4. Make buying and consumer decisions that take into account the environmental impact We hope to bring you lots of good news in the future about Solo Go Green."
