WHERE Indonesia
Summary
Poverty, marginalisation and lack of opportunity drive small-scale, yet pervasive deforestation and biodiversity loss across Indonesia. This project will tackle these drivers in two key biodiversity landscapes: Batutegi Protection Forest and Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park. The project will improve the lives of ~3,000 women and men, in ways that strengthen links between human prosperity and ecosystem protection, including conservation agriculture and agroforestry, scholarships, provision of essential healthcare, and employment linked to wildlife reintroduction, SMART patrolling and long-term monitoring.
