Materi Bahasa Inggris Kelas XI SMK Kurikulum Merdeka, "Indonesian Environmental Figures"

Introduction

Indonesia faces many environmental problems such as deforestation, pollution, and long droughts. These issues harm nature and affect people's lives. To solve these challenges, many environmental heroes have emerged. They work hard to protect the environment and inspire others to do the same.

Figures like Mbah Sadiman, the Pandawara Group, Suswaningsih, and Darmawan Denassa have made significant contributions to preserving nature. Let’s learn about Mbah Sadiman, a dedicated tree planter from Wonogiri who has helped restore green forests and clean water for his village.

---

Reading: 

Mbah Sadiman: The Environment Hero of Wonogiri

Mbah Sadiman is an environmental hero from Wonogiri, Central Java. He started planting trees on dry hills near his village to solve a serious problem: a long drought. The deforestation in the area made it difficult for people to get clean water.

To reforest the land, Mbah Sadiman planted thousands of banyan trees, which help retain water in the soil. However, getting tree seedlings was not easy. 

The price of  tree seeds was very expensive, but Mbah Sadiman worked hard to obtain them despite the challenges. He believed that his efforts would bring great benefits to his village.

For over 20 years, Mbah Sadiman never gave up on his mission to make the land green again. His dedication restored clean water for the community and brought life back to the hills. 

Because of his hard work and determination to protect nature, he was honored with the Kick Andy Heroes Award in 2016.
