Founder/Initiator Of Bring Back The Light
Born and raised in the village of Taro, I have had an intimate connection with fireflies since childhood.
Over the years, I noticed their presence declining along with the destruction of their habitat.
As a result, I started this initiative to ensure that future generations can witness the magical glow of fireflies.
By restoring their population and improving their natural environment, I hope to create a lasting impact.

Biology Researcher
I was born in a rural area of Magelang, Central Java, on the slopes of Mount Merapi.
My passion for insects, especially fireflies, has grown since I was a child.
I studied Biology at Atma Jaya University in Yogyakarta.
In fact, working closely with fireflies in the lab feels truly magical and deepens my desire to protect them.
Furthermore, I believe that education plays a key role in conservation.

Biology Researcher
I grew up in Tana Toraja, South Sulawesi, where local culture is deeply connected with ancestral beliefs and the afterlife.
Interestingly, fireflies are often seen as spiritual beings within our traditions.
During my studies at Duta Wacana Christian University, Yogyakarta, I gained a balanced understanding between the mythological beliefs and scientific insights about fireflies.
Therefore, I aim to bridge tradition and science in supporting sustainable firefly conservation.
