🚨🇮🇩 A major landslide (a couple of days ago) above the Sipulak Hydroelectric Power Plant in Kecamatan Pakkat, North Sumatra, blocked the Aek Sirahar River, causing water to pool behind the dam at an estimated height of 70 meters. Authorities warn that rising pressure and heavy rain could trigger a dam collapse, leading to flash floods downstream in Barus, Andam Dewi, and along the river. Local officials and the military are alerting residents and coordinating temporary evacuations while monitoring the situation closely.




💚 Meskipun mereka sedang mengalami kesusahan dan masih berada dalam agresi militer Israel, warga Gaza tetap menyempatkan diri untuk berdonasi bagi korban banjir di Sumatera. 😭😭😭💖🇮🇩✨🇵🇸







Last week, Oxford Botanic Garden’s Chris Thorogood (@thorogoodchris1), working with local conservation hero Septian (Deki) Andriki and their local guide Iswandi, saw Rafflesia hasseltii in Sumatra. Their expedition was supported by @brin_indonesia’s Joko Witono and @unibofficial’s Agus Susatya, whose guidance helped make the journey possible. To see this flower in bloom was an extraordinary team achievement. This expedition was part of the Community for the Conservation and Research of Rafflesia (CCRR) – an international partnership running since 2022 - made up of academic biologists, foresters, researchers and community practitioners from across the world working on Rafflesia. Their mission is to document some of the world’s rarest flowers and build a Rafflesia conservation working group – sharing knowledge, tools and best practice to protect these plants long term.
