Summary
In Indonesia, rural poverty coupled with environmental degradation results in negative socio-economic impacts for the most vulnerable communities. Evidence shows that when Indigenous peoples and local communities manage their own resources, social conditions improve, deforestation is reduced, and biodiversity thrives. We work with village partners to secure land rights and manage forest areas sustainably and adaptively. By establishing new governance practices that are entirely community-led, we aim to create the enabling
conditions to effectively engage locally-led conservation solutions.
