In the highlands of East Java, Indonesia, the Tenggerese people are facing a harsh reality as climate change disrupts their traditional agricultural practices. Known for their close connection to nature and their unique cultural heritage, the Tenggerese are experiencing prolonged dry spells and erratic weather patterns that threaten their livelihoods and food security.
In response to these challenges, the community is turning to traditional rituals and prayers, hoping for rain to nourish their crops. This situation highlights the vulnerability of indigenous communities to the impacts of climate change and underscores the urgent need for global action to address environmental sustainability.
