The destruction of water courses in forest areas can be fatal for the local communities and ecosystems around them. This film describes a programme being conducted by Rancang Bangun Unit Manajemen Hutan Rakyat Lestari (RBUMHRL) that aims to preserve water courses and improve the living standards of forest-dwelling communities living near rivers. The four-stage program will mobilize communities to establish community organizations, work with the government for greater recognition, and produce media to raise awareness and inform forest stakeholders. The film also discusses activities being carried out by the community in Hutan Rakyat in four villages in Central Java to preserve river ecosystems
