“…In the survey, respondents were asked whether their organisation was part of the environmental movement and whether it was involved in forest tenure activism at the national level. Any negative response led to the exclusion of the EMOs from the study (Di Gregorio, 2012). This procedure led to the identification of 25 core Indicate those in which your organization has participated in the last 12 months.…”

“…In Indonesia, EMOs use multiple repertoires of collective action, which poses both advantages and risks (Mosley, 2011;van der Heijden, 1997 The main advocacy efforts are framed around the need for both increased recognition of locally exercised rights to forest resources and improved forest management (Di Gregorio, 2012;Stoler, 1986).…”

This paper investigates the complex nature of access to the state for environmental movement organizations (EMOs) and adopts an interactionist approach to explore inter-organizational networking between EMOs and state actors. The paper supports existing evidence that proximate political opportunities are in part contingent on the interests, claims and frames of policy actors. The main theoretical contribution of this paper is to illustrate that EMOs strategically adapt to existing opportunity environments and actively seek to engage state actors that are most receptive to their demands, as opposed to those that have most influence in the domain, and that new modes of governance facilitate such access. Using evidence from forest activism in Indonesia, it shows that: lobbying less powerful but more receptive actors is a strategy that EMOs use to overcome limited political opportunities and that semiindependent multi-actor forums expand access of EMOs to potential state actor allies.The paper also shows that within the Indonesian context these multi-stakeholders forums are actively supported by international organisations, which therefore directly contribute to expanding opportunities for EMOs.

“…Broadly speaking, environmentalist views in Indonesia are most often framed around conservation concerns (di Gregorio, 2012). There is much rhetoric about protecting the symbolic community of the archipelago; construed as a natural wonderland and matter of national pride on the global stage.…”

This article compares two youth-oriented ENGOs (Environmental Non-Government Organisations) in Indonesia. Comparative analysis focuses on how the two organisations provide discourses that configure differently the pedagogic space of experiential learning for children and young people. Despite an apparent low level of environmental awareness generally among the Indonesian population there does seem to be some enthusiasm for environmental activities among certain groups of young people. However, it seems different kinds of young people are drawn to different kinds of environmental activities. Conceptually, if we accept that there is an imagined space of the nation (Anderson, 1991) we can logically propose an imagined national space of the physical environment. Thus different agents of change will imagine and configure this space differently so that certain kinds of engagement and learning follow. Escobar (1999) points out that what we perceive in the environment as "natural" is always also cultural and social. So for example, transnational logging companies understand the Indonesian forests as a natural resource to be exploited, while student nature-lover groupsMahasiswa Pencinta Alam -constitute forests as recreational places to camp and walk in nature. This paper examines two ENGOs designed to appeal to young Indonesians: Sahabat Alam -Friends of Nature -founded in 2008 by a 12 year old schoolgirl after Jakarta flooding, and Tanam Untuk Kehidupan -Planting for Life -an arts collective which aims for learning about the environment through creative practices and festivals in Salatiga.
