Safe Harvests for Honey Hunters
To reduce the deadly risk of falling while harvesting honey, our livelihoods researchers decided to introduce a safer method. Using the Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) approach, the Yayasan Tambuhak Sinta (YTS) foundation invited a honey hunter from West Kalimantan to discuss the use of the ‘Tikung’ method with the Pilang community. And after learning about the various steps involved, Madi’s group agreed to try it.
