INDONESIAN HERITAGE TRUST BADAN PELESTARIAN PUSAKA INDONESIA The Indonesian Heritage Trust is a civil society organization aiming at strengthening and assisting heritage conservation in Indonesia. Indonesia has very rich and diverse culture, with 700 ethnic groups, each with its language, local wisdom and tradition. The Indonesian archipelago has more than 17,000 islands with their flora and fauna and natural resources. A lot of the invaluable natural and cultural heritage are lost, damaged, or endangered, due to ignorance, incapacity, or mismanagement. IHT will work together with various relevant institutions to strengthen the heritage conservation system, and assist the safeguard and maintenance of the heritage.

IHT was born through the consensus of the members of JPPI

(the Indonesian Network for Heritage Conservation), which is a communication forum among the heritage societies in various regions in Indonesia. The inauguration ceremony of the Indonesian Heritage Trust on August 17, 2004 was attended by the Minister of Culture and Tourism, government officials, representatives of the NGOs, Universities, media etc. IHT has been active in providing inputs for policy and strategy, launching of petition for conservation, organizing monthly discussions, and consultation with various organizations.

General Program: • to prepare inputs for policy, strategy, program, guidelines, and

mechanisms for the heritage conservation in Indonesia. • to assist capacity building and conservation movement, in

cooperation with other institutions, community, and the private sector, through technical assistance, education and training, workshops, seminars, database and web-site, publication, and promotion.

• to develop funding for Indonesian heritage conservation in cooperation with national and international organizations, private sector, and the communities, and propose incentives, tax deduction, and other support from the government.

o Establishment of Heritage Emergency Response Unit

o Development of Heritage Conservation Funding System

in heritage conservation. o Communication and Public Relation.

New development should not damage or remove invaluable heritage from the past. Natural and cultural heritage should be preserved and delivered to future generations. Conservartion should be one objective of development. Conservation will be successful if it develops into a people’s movement supported by all the people, and become a part of their life. BPPI encourages and assists heritage conservation movement in various regions.

The protection and safeguard of endangered heritage have high priority both in policy strengthening and fieldworks. BPPI is now working with various institutions in reviewing and strengthening of laws, policy, program, and conservation mechanisms Conservation also includes maintenance and the management of its use in community life so that it become a part of sustainable community life. Motivation, capacity, and ability in conservation need to be developed through education, training, and technical assistance In the meantime resources should be consolidated to support conservation movement.

Conservation does not mean freezing the creativity to build the future. Utilizing the energy and values of the heritage, development of arts and culture in various regions are encouraged and valorized to build sustainable positive cultural frameworks which can contribute to the development of harmonious and prosperous world. Cross cultural communication and understanding should be developed in mutual respect. Conducive environment should be built for the conservation of heritage, improvement of current life, .and development of strong foundation for the future.
