Abstract

This research examines how environmental movement in Indonesia was formed using the experience of the Indonesian Forum for Environment (WALHI) in facing challenges such as the situation of ecological crisis and increasing environmental damage, the political situation and the situation of civil society and certainly affects the future strategy of the environmental movement. The research uses an organizational phase approach to see the environment movement dynamic from pioneering into associative phase for 40 years of the environmental movement presented by WALHI. Data collection was carried out through interviews, activists’ reflections, informal conversations and by being present at various occasions. This research is a reflective process for the environmental movement, in determining strategic choices to support advocacy work and saving the environment, as well as expanding the environmental movement in Indonesia. As the largest environmental organization in Indonesia, WALHI has provided a role and influence in building and strengthening the environmental movement as well as setting an environmental reform agenda and framing environmental issues as a collective responsibility.
