Bogor, April 23, 2025 — In a pivotal gathering of emerging environmental leaders, Mukhlish Jamal Musa Holle, the Country Representative of YPARD Indonesia, played a prominent role in the 2025 GLF Landscape Leadership Camp, held from April 21–23 at the CIFOR/ICRAF Headquarters in Bogor, West Java.
Organized by the Global Landscapes Forum (GLF), this intensive camp brought together 50 young leaders from nine countries across Asia, including Indonesia, the Philippines, Brunei Darussalam, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Taiwan, Vietnam, and Nepal. Participants hailed from diverse academic and professional backgrounds in landscape management and restoration, united by a common goal: to advance sustainable practices and leadership in landscape governance.
The three-day program featured a rich mix of training sessions, interdisciplinary discussions, and immersive field visits. These included explorations of sustainable land-use models at a tea plantation, a coffee-based agroforestry system, and the scenic Telaga Saat in Cibulao Village. Through these site visits and hands-on learning experiences, attendees gained practical insights into sustainable land and resource management, ecosystem restoration, and community-driven innovation.
Beyond participation, Mukhlish Jamal Musa Holle also served as a featured speaker during a key session focused on youth-led environmental movements. He introduced YPARD’s mission to promote the engagement of young professionals in shaping the future of sustainable food systems and landscape resilience. Jamal highlighted the critical role of youth-driven, community-based innovation and underscored the need for inclusive cross-sector and cross-country collaborations to address pressing environmental and food security challenges.
"Participation in the GLF Landscape Leadership Camp is a valuable opportunity to strengthen the role of young people in building a sustainable landscape future, while expanding international collaborative networks," said Jamal.
The camp’s collaborative spirit and interdisciplinary approach reinforced GLF’s mission to create a global movement of young landscape leaders equipped to tackle the climate crisis, biodiversity loss, and food insecurity. By nurturing emerging talents like Jamal, the GLF Landscape Leadership Camp 2025 marked a significant step forward in empowering the next generation to lead with vision, knowledge, and purpose.
