Indonesia case study: Minangkabau community observes lockdown by restoring their forest in West Sumatra
16 Dec 2020
To avoid the spread of COVID-19, the Community Forest Group requires people who enter the community to disinfect themselves. Working together, community members spray their houses with disinfectants that they produce from plants that grow in their forests, which they mix with patchouli and citronella oils. The community also limits its members from travelling outside, and there is a mutual agreement not to hold events that involve many people.
