Petronela Merauje, Pamoja na Wanawake Wanaolinda Misitu ya Wanawake

Petronela Merauje ni mama wa nyumbani aliyezaliwa Jayapura mnamo Februari 21, 1981. Mwanamke huyu kutoka  Kijiji cha Enggros , Wilaya ya Abepura, Jiji la Jayapura ni mwanamke mwenye ushawishi mkubwa katika ulinzi wa Msitu wa Wanawake (Tonotwiyat) na Ghuba ya Youtefa. Nia yake katika masuala ya wanawake na mazingira ilianza mwaka wa 2010 alipohusika katika shughuli ya upandaji mikoko na Jukwaa la Kutunza Kijani la Port Numbay (FPPNG).

Mwanamke huyu, ambaye kwa sasa ana umri wa miaka 42 na anayejulikana zaidi kwa jina la ” Mama Nela”, anahisi kuitwa kulinda Msitu wa Wanawake kwa sababu ya kiasi kikubwa cha takataka zinazosombwa na mikondo na kupungua kwa eneo la msitu wa mikoko kutokana na maendeleo. Msitu wa Wanawake una maana muhimu kwa wanawake katika Kijiji cha Enggros. Msitu wa Wanawake ni msitu wa mikoko ulioko Yotefa Bay ambao ni mahali pa wanawake “walisema” kwa sababu kijadi wanawake katika kabila la Enggros hawana haki ya kupiga kura. Wakiwa kwenye Msitu wa Wanawake, wanawake hawavai nguo (uchi) na wanaume wamekatazwa kuingia. Wanaume wanaokiuka sheria hii watatozwa faini za kimila.

Kwa Mama Nela, kuokoa kuwepo kwa mikoko kwenye Msitu wa Wanawake ni muhimu sawa na kuokoa nafasi ya wanawake katika Kijiji cha Enggros. Hili lilimfanya Mama Nela kujitegemea kupanda miche 20,000 ya mikoko ili kudumisha msongamano wa msitu wa mikoko ili wanawake wa msitu wa Mikoko ambao hawakuvaa nguo hizo wasionekane kutoka nje ya msitu huo. Kando na hayo, pia ni kulinda makazi ya samakigamba ambayo ndiyo tegemeo kuu la wanawake katika Kijiji cha Enggros.

Katika Msitu wa Wanawake, Mama Nela anawajengea uwezo wanawake kwa kutoa mafunzo kwa wanawake jinsi ya kudhibiti taka kuwa zawadi zinazouzwa kwa watalii, mbali na hayo, pia wanapewa mafunzo ya kusindika matunda ya mikoko kuwa chakula kama vile ice cream, pudding, nuggets na mengineyo. . Shughuli za kufundisha hazifanywi tu katika Kijiji cha Enggros bali pia hufanywa katika vikundi vingine vitano vinavyokuzwa nje ya Kijiji cha Enggros. Mama Nela anatarajia kupitia utetezi wake na juhudi zake za kuokoa mazingira, nafasi ya wanawake katika Kijiji cha Enggros inaweza kutambulika na uelewa kukua kwa kila mwanamke kuhusu hali ya kuwa mali ya Msitu wa Wanawake ili waendelee kudumisha thamani ya kimila ya msitu huo. kama kitambulisho cha kitamaduni.
