About Perkumpulan untuk Pembaharuan Hukum Berbasis Masyarakat dan Ekologis (HuMa)

HuMa was pioneered by individuals coming from highly diverse backgrounds (activists, academics and lawyers) who shared similar concerns with regards to legal thinking and practices in the natural resources sector. HuMa’s embryo was conceived as early as 1998 with the support of ELSAM and was officially established on October 19 2001 as a legal entity in the form of an association. At present, HuMa has 25 members.
