A month ago, I had trip to Borneo or (Kalimantan). The purpose of my trip was doing research survey. I was selected Borneo as my research study because :
1. I’ve never been there before.
2. Borneo is one of big island in Indonesia which has huge attention from all over the world because of its richness of biodiersity. Many people are trying to protect this island in order to protect the world from environmental disasters.
Those are my reasons why I want to go there.
On February 13th, My friends and I have implemented EcoMonopoly project successfuly. I created a team which is called EcoFun Community. We worked together to educate children in funways. Beside me, there are Edwina, Namira, Andra, Icca, Jihan, and Ondo. They became tutor for the kids.
This projects was also helped by Ka Cahyo and Mbak Citra for documentation, thanks a lot you both! ^^
This new project had different concept than the older project. I got new idea to create big size of EcoMonopoly. The theme of EcoMonopoly is also new version, it’s about measuring our carbon track in this planet.
EcoMonopoly teach children about many things related to environment such as National Park, Fauna, FLora, and example of environmental small activities that can be done in our daily life.
I printed the board in 3 x 3 meters. I had to wait around 5 hours until the board already printed. This new EcoMonopoly focused on environmental behavior of the players. Usually Monopoly game use pawn, and this Carbon-Track-EcoMonopoy (CTE) use human as a pawn, so the players will be the pawn of themselves, interesting right?
Also, the old Monopoly uses fake tress, if the players wants to plant a tress over the board, this CTE uses real trees, I prepared tree plants.
I invited around 27 kids from SDN Babakan Darmaga, this school is near to my campus. This school also still haven’t environmental subject. They were so happy at the day of implementation.
I asked them to be honest when they were answering environmental questions which are provided from the cards. If they are doing go green, their carbon will be less, if they’re not, they will get more carbon. ^^
The implementation was located in Gladiator IPB. Besides asking-answering, they also tried to plant trees while the simulation.
During the simulation, two reporters from Koran Kampus came and asked whether they can have short interview about this project, I was so delighted to accept the offer, 🙂
At the end of the game, I asked them to take care the plants, in the future we will see them grow.. they were so exciting, I’m so happy that my project has done happily. I hope from this project, the kids will be new environmental heroes! I hope so!

Save Our Planet start from now on!
Besok pagi tepatnya jam 6, gue akan melakukan perjalanan pertama gue ke Pulau Kalimantan atau seringkali disebut Borneo (gue lebih seneng nyebut Borneo, hehe). Gue ksana bukan untuk travelling lepas, tapi travelling untuk survei penelitian.. hohoho. Provinsi yang akan gue datangi itu Kalimantan Selatan, gue akan terbang ke Banjarmasin lalu menuju tiga lokasi yang merupakan daerah hutan belantara.. uwow.. I’m so excited.. ^^
Tiga lokasi itu diantaranya Sultan Adam, Meratus Hulu Barabai, dan Gunung Kentawan.
kenapa sih jauh banget kesana??
Hohoho, banyak banget yang nanya pertanyaan ini tiap kali gue bilang penelitian gue di Borneo.
Ini karena topik penelitian yang gue yaitu habitat burung pemangsa.
Judul penelitian yang gue akan itu berjudul :
Studi Karakteristik Lanskap Habitat Musim Dingin Sikep Madu Asia berbasis Satellite Tracking di Kalimantan Selatan.
Singkatnya gue akan meneliti habitat burung pemangsa Sikep Madu Asia disana, menelaah karakter lanskapnya, datanya pake data satelit, 🙂
Kind of interesting for me, alasan gue mengambil judul ini karena gue ingin belajar tentang GIS, so I took this topic..
Sikep Madu Asia ini adalah burung migrasi dari Jepang, ketika musim dingin di Jepang burung ini mencari daerah tropis untuk diam sementara.
Di Kalsel, gue akan mencari apakah Sikep Madu Asia itu ada atau engga, dan juga gue mau lihat landcovernya disana.
Segala persiapan sudah disiapkan, semoga penelitian gue berjalan lancar, amin ..
Wish Me Luck!
