In the effort of preventing forest fires and further deforestation, Tampelas village came up with a proposal to utilize their village-owned forest for snakehead fish cultivation. Cultivation of snakehead fish can help keep peat forest land wet, thus avoiding fires. Hearing their aspirations, PDW, Watala, Tata Habitat 7, and team cooperated with RMU and the locals to create infrastructures that will support the program of snakehead cultivation and potentially extract the fish into albumin. Albumin production can increase the product value which would be beneficial for their local economy. The power will be generated by solar power plant as a means of renewable energy.
he project is then divided into the physical and empowerment schemes. On the physical scheme, PDW have designed multiple supporting facilities such as the: photovoltaic pavilion (with effective utilizations of the spaces underneath the solar panels), micro albumin industry, flood mitigation multi-purpose hall, and the boat jetty. PDW is keen to involve the community during the construction stage up to the operation and management of the facility in the latter stage. This is part of the empowerment scheme and it is crucial to heighten their sense of belonging to the project. With this effort, PDW hopes that the designed pavilion would be utilized with activities that will enrich the local knowledge, tradition, economy, safety, and well-being.
