Saat menjabat sebagai Bupati Kab Parigi Moutong dan Gubernur Prov Sulawesi Tengah, Yasalu turut terlibat dalam sinergi pembangunan khususnya di kawasan pesisir dan laut. Teruslah berkarya, jangan berhenti menebar kebaikan bagi alam dan manusia

Saya mengenal Yasalu di awal 2000 an, bila sampai sekarang masih bertahan bahkan berkembang , tentulah ini menjadi kabar yang sangat menggembirakan.

We had the immense pleasure and opportunity to work with Yasalu during the SUSCLAM project. The Yasalu team provided leadership and direction for the whole project and introduced innovative approaches based on their extensive experience and know-how which proved pivotal to the successful implementation of the SUSCLAM project. These approaches drew on profound understanding of the socio-ecological context within which we were working and were applied not only in the project sites Yasalu was directly responsible for but across other the project sites of Tomini Bay coastal communities as well. In the years that have past I have watched Yasalu grow from strength the strength driven by their compassion and technical expertise working in coastal communities and excellent leadership. In my 24 years of working in coastal communities across Asia Yasalu stands out for me – I learned so much and continue to admire their work and dedication.– Maeve Nightingale, Head Coastal and Marine Programme, IUCN Asia
