We can find music basically everywhere in our daily life and we can see that very often music is used as a tool to engineer change in our community. And throughout history, music has been a vehicle for enacting change in the world. “If we can make music for a good cause and shine a light to people around us, why not?” This thought is something that brought The Overtunes, an Indonesian band of brothers consisting of Mada Emmanuelle, Mikha Angelo and Reuben Nathaniel to keep doing their best to use their music as a tool to contribute to bring positive change to people out there.

Similarly, other participants noted that, in both Indonesian and global discussions on forestry and broader resource management, people often speak of '€œlow hanging fruit'€• or '€œquick wins'€•. This refers to making short-term achievements that can maintain the momentum needed to institute long- term reforms necessary to achieve sustainability.
