Synopsis

Desa Manyarejo, bagian dari Kawasan Dunia Sangiran, menyumbang hampir 60% koleksi fosil di Museum Purba Sangiran. Sejak puluhan tahun lalu, warga setempat telah mencari fosil, baik lewat pengalaman empiris maupun mimpi. Fosil pun menjadi bagian tak terpisahkan dari kehidupan mereka—dulu bahkan sempat terjebak dalam praktik penjualan ilegal demi bertahan hidup. Kini, masyarakat Manyarejo bangkit, dengan generasi mudanya menginisiasi sinergi positif antara fosil dan kehidupan sesuai hukum, demi kesejahteraan bersama.

Manyarejo Village, part of the Sangiran World Heritage Area, contributes nearly 60% of the fossil collection at the Sangiran Museum. For decades, local residents have been searching for fossils, guided by both empirical experience and dreams. Fossils have become an inseparable part of their lives—even once involving illegal trade for survival. Today, the community has risen, with the younger generation initiating a positive synergy between fossils and daily life in accordance with the law, aiming for shared prosperity.
