yangki Dear all, last week I was in invited by Smart FM radio to have a workshop on "Youth & Environment" in @atamerica, a cultural centre from US Embassy. I was there to present my view from my summer school experience ans also my involvement in Forest Friends Project by WWF-Indonesia & WWF-Germany. I wrote the report of this talkshow in my website.

yangki Dear Forest Friends fans. I've bought a new domain for my website. You can find me here inhttp://www.yangkiimadesuara.com Sometimes I wrote in Indonesian and English. I hope you enjoy my article and random thought.

yangki Dear Forest Friends fans, last week Lena (Forest Friends Finalist from Germany) came to Jakarta, Indonesia for the 1st round of tree plantation. I was invited by WWF Indonesia for a dinner meeting on March 27 in Jakarta and I went there from Bandung. I also met with Mia & Lena (Forest Friends Indonesian Finalist) and from 28 March and 1 April 2011, Rima & Lena (The first team with the most fans) visited Tesso Nilo for tree plantation. I would like to say thank you / terima kasih / vielen dank for all Forest Friends fans that always give us their very best support to make it happen. Yes, we save 63,780 trees in order to preserve Sumatran Tiger habitat. I'm also working on an article for Zeitgeist Young Minds about this project. Wish me luck and here's one of picture.

yangki Dear Forest Friends Fans. I would like to wrote about our activities during this last two weeks. Hanna is in bike tour around Germany and this week already becoming her 2nd week on the road. She started her bike tour from March 24, 2001. I post a picture from Hanna and for her 2nd day bike tour. My update will coming soon.

yangki Hanna, this is the video of Felix Finkbeiner and children of the Plant-for-the-Planet Initiative are speaking at the UN to open international year of forests 2011.

yangki Hi all, I just wrote an article about A Tiger in the Airport.

HannaS Yes, I´ve heard that, it´s a good thing and I´m already excited about the planting of all the trees. I hope that in 2011, a lot can be done for the forests. Maybe, in connection with the tiger saving programs, there will be more awareness in public. But most important is that the great work of WWF is continued, and I think in this point, we can be pretty sure :)

yangki Did you know that the year 2011 was declared the International Year of Forests by the United Nations to raise awareness and strengthen the sustainable forest management, conservation and sustainable development of all types of forests for the benefit of current and future generations. To find out more about this International Year of Forest just visit their website inhttp://www.un.org/en/events/iyof2011/index.shtml I'm really excited about next year because we will plant all the trees from our supporter through this Forest Friends Project in Tesso Nilo, Riau Province, Indonesia. Big thank you for all of our fans, without your support we will never going to do this big thing for our planet.

yangki Hi Hanna. Today 1 Dec 2010 is your birthday. So, "selamat ulang tahun" from Bandung. Wish you all the best for your future and your contribution for our planet.

yangki This picture was from Central Park in New York, what I really love in this Park is they have their own path/route for vehicle, cycle and runner. This is the runner path and you can see the logo reflect people is running.

yangki Hi Hanna, I found a video from the last COP15 in Copenhagen, Denmark. This was one of my interview, he's running a website namedhttp://www.armdevices.net/ I attached the video here.

yangki Hi Hanna, 4 days ago, Nov 10. I got invitation to attend Speech by President Barack Obama in University of Indonesia. He's a great man, humble and always with a positive thingking. We know that Republicans took over House of Representative chair over Democrats in the last election. He also sometimes said some word in Indonesian languages and also told us about his life in Indonesia (4 years). He said "Underneath the headlines of the day, we must build bridges between our people, because our future security and prosperity is shared." I remembered what you said during interview with High & Teen Magazine "International cooperation and communication is one of the key success for environmental protection". In the end of the speech, I got chance to shook his hand and I said " See you next year Barry", next year he will visit Indonesia for East Asia Summit. Here's transcript of his speech.http://www.whitehouse.gov/the-press-office/2010/11/10/remarks-president-university-indonesia-jakarta-indonesia

yangki Hi Hanna, actually there's an article about my time in Berlin during GYG Congress and also meeting with you in WWF. This article was published in my university website and in English version. Here's the linkhttp://www.unpad.ac.id/archives/36120

yangki The emissions of volcanic ash, known to the locals as 'wedhus gembel', at 12.40am local time, 69 peoples killed and hundred people have to move to get save place to stay. Now, the save area is 20km from the Merapi mountain. In Indonesia, hot cloud from Merapi Mountain called "Wedhus Gembel"

yangki Today, Merapi erupt again and more people die. Indonesia Government just released the instruction for this critical situation. We're working together, army, police, volunteer, government (local & central) and civil society.

yangki Hi, I want to give you a lesson about Penguin body language. During my weekend in Boston, MA (summer school program), we went to an aquarium in Boston. I tooke a picture of a body language of penguin. Here you go.

yangki I would like to say thank you for friends from London, India, Hannover, Germany and also my summer program host (ITD) that #prayforindonesia after we was hit by the dual natural disaster. We also #prayforindonesia hoping the best and government and civil society working together to help victims of tsunami in Mentawai Island and Merapi eruption. Picture after eruption taken from http://www.thejakartapost.com/

yangki More than 300 peoples dies because of tsunami in Mentawai Island (West Sumatra) and hundred people missing and more than 30 people died in Central Java after Merapi eruption, an active volcano in Indonesia. That was sad read about it in newspaper, watch it on tv, and see pictures of it. I really want to becoming a volunteer in that area especially Mentawai but it's hard to reach that area because that's a remote island with poor infrastructure. We do our best to send food, shelter and medicine for them. We #prayforindonesia and we #actforindonesia. Pic from cbc.ca

yangki Hi Hanna, during a week in Tucson, Arizona we learn about flora and fauna in Sonoran Desert, one of them is visiting Desert Museum. This is my first time in Desert and there was 40 degree Celsius (soooo hooot). I take a picture with a biggest and tallest Cactus named Saguaro. You can compare my size with Saguaro.
