A WWF (World Wildlife Fund) project has resulted in over a hundred fish ponds being built in the 
lrian Jaya rainforest in eastern Indonesia. The fish ponds provide a much needed, reliable source of 
income and food for the local community. They also produce an invaluable by-product: a reason for 
the villagers to take care of the local rainforest. The ponds require a supply of clean, fresh water. This 
is only available throughout the year if water- retaining roots of the neighbouring trees are kept intact, 
which gave WWF good reason to provide plans and concrete for the ponds, and fish to stock them 
with. And because they believe it is more important to motivate by physical example than by just 
giving advice. WWF agricultural extension workers helped to construct concrete tanks and dig fish 
ponds. Now an entire community benefits and the entire community runs the fish pond program 
without outside help.
