Permasalahan eksploitasi hutan di Sumatra akhir2 ini bikin aku teringat masa2 skripsian. Dulu awal kuliah aku tumbuh sebagai anak mikrobiologi, hari2ku hanya di laboratorium, ruangan dingin, steril dan semuanya terukur.

Tapi sekitar semester lima, aku mulai jatuh cinta dengan ekologi, dan semuanya berubah, aku meninggalkan PDH mikrobiologiku dan beralih menjadi anak ekologi. Ada sesuatu dari cara alam bekerja yang bikin aku pengen belajar lagi dan lagi. Pelan2, kuliah yang dulu terasa berat malah jadi hal yang aku tunggu. Aku semacam ketagihan belajar, karena setiap materinya ngebuka pandangan baru tentang dunia yang sebelumnya nggak pernah bener2 aku lihat.

Belajar tentang konservasi lingkungan bikin mataku kebuka tentang banyak hal: spesies yang terancam, habitat yang terus menyempit, dan masalah2 yang sering luput dari perhatian. Aneh ya, hal yang menyedihkan justru bikin aku makin ingin tahu, bikin aku makin tertarik dan ingin terlibat lebih jauh.

Pada akhirnya, magang di bidang konservasi adalah keputusan impulsif yang justru mengarahkan aku ke tempat yang tepat. Dari sanalah topik skripsiku lahir. Waktu itu aku meneliti satu spesies pohon yang statusnya “endangered”. Ironisnya, aku belum pernah melihat pohon itu secara langsung. Hanya membaca, menganalisis, dan berharap suatu hari aku bisa bertemu dengan spesies itu di habitat aslinya, sebelum ia benar2 punah di alam liar.

Alam ternyata bukan cuma tempat untuk diteliti, tapi juga tempat yang mengembalikan aku pada diriku sendiri.

"For Mentawai women, these tattoos mark an important stage in life, symbolizing maturity and readiness for their role within the family clan. Beyond their visual beauty, our tattoos serve as spiritual protection, maintaining harmony between body and soul while guarding against malevolent spirits.

Many of our symbols are inspired by nature flowing water, plants, and other elements of the jungle representing life, fertility, and our deep connection to the jungle surrounding. These tattoos are not only a source of pride but also lifelong symbols of our Mentawai identity, linking us to our ancestors.

Women who carry them are seen as guardians of our traditions, ensuring that this sacred art continues to thrive. Through my mission and work, I honor this legacy keeping the spirit of Mentawai tattooing alive."
