mereka.En: Rina and Sari, standing behind him, offered support with their smiles.Id: Rina, aktivis lokal yang juga peduli dengan hutan, mengangguk setuju.En: Rina, a local activist who also cared for the forest, nodded in agreement.Id: Sari, seorang ibu dari desa itu, mendengarkan dengan seksama.En: Sari, a mother from the village, listened intently.Id: "Adi," panggil Sari, "kami tahu betapa pentingnya hutan.En: "Adi," called Sari, "we know how important the forest is.Id: Tapi kami juga harus cari nafkah.En: But we also have to make a living.Id: Kau tahu kan, cuaca kering begini sulit.En: You know, the weather being so dry makes it difficult."Id: "Adi mengerti.En: Adi understood.Id: Kehidupan sehari-hari desa ini tidak mudah, dan fokus mereka adalah kebutuhan sekarang, bukan masa

alternatif.En: Adi offered an alternative.Id: "Tumbuhan obat bisa kita ambil seperlunya, dan hewan di hutan bisa menjaga keseimbangan alam.En: "We can gather medicinal plants as needed, and the animals in the forest can maintain ecological balance.Id: Selain itu, hutan yang terjaga bisa menarik lebih banyak wisatawan yang bisa meningkatkan pendapatan kita.En: Additionally, a preserved forest

bagi dirinya.En: His voice quivered for a moment, conveying how important that story was to him.Id: Hadirin hening.En: The audience was silent.Id: Suara burung dari hutan menemani keheningan

megah.En: And the forest, the silent witness behind their story, stood majestically.
