BUTON COASTAL AREA DEVELOPMENT NETWORK
PROFILE



BACKGROUND

There are two major paradoxes that emerge when coastal regions are discussed: a high level of poverty compared to abundant coastal/marine resources, and secondly, environmental and ecosystem damage that rapidly occurs in the midst of the much-lauded indigenous knowledge. This has taken place in nearly every coastal region in Indonesia, including in South East Sulawesi and especially in Buton ( geographically and culturally ). The issue of poverty and the issue of environmental damage/decreased quality of natural resources are major problems that don,t have easy solutions because the causes and aspects of these issues are multi-dimensional and complicated.

As a result of the complicated nature and multiple dimensions of the issues facing coastal areas, many stakeholders need to take a role in overcoming these problems, especially within the poor and marginalized communities ( fisherman and cultivators ). This principle formed the basis for the birth of an NGO network know as JARINGAN PENGEMBANGAN KAWASAN PESISIR ( JPKP ) BUTON. This network came to life on the 24th June 2002 and consisted of 7 NGOs from Buton : LembagaPelestarian Lingkungan dan Pengembangan Masyarakat ( LINTAS ), Yayasan Buana Hijau, Lembaga Peduli Lingkungan Tanpa Batas ( PELINTAS ), Yayasan PRIMA, Yayasan RAMPEA, Yayasan Pengembangan Potensi Daerah ( YAMANSIDA ) and Yayasan Pengembangan Kawasan Pantai ( YASNAWAN ). In October 2004, JPKP decided to acquire legal status and add two more members, LSAIN ( Lembaga Suaka Alam Indonesia ) and HUMANIORA. As often with development of networks, internal changes occurred, especially in terms of mechanisms and organizational rules, which were then formalized in a statute, Standard Operational Procedure and other supporting regulations. JPKP BUTON, with the resources is possesses, continues to work for positive social change in coastal regions and continues to learn from dynamic and complex social and environmental problems.
