Ilham, Rehabilitating Mangroves with Perseverance
Ilham is compensating for his sin decades ago by persevering in rehabilitating mangroves in Paser regency, East Kalimantan. His only wish is to keep the life of fishermen in his village progressing smoothly.

Over 20 years ago, Ilham was wallowing around muddy waters while slashing mangrove stems with a dagger. He slashed the trees from the right and left to make them fall. At one moment, reaching the umpteenth stem, he slashed from the right. Unfortunately, the slash slipped and hit the upper part of his left foot.
Ilham showed the trace of a dry cut wound on Wednesday (15/2/2023). A line of about 10 centimeters in a lighter skin color could be seen on his left foot. Ilham regards the wound as a reminder of his past mangrove hacking practice.
