The Idea
Community-led conservation in Indonesia
Organization
Planet Indonesia
A tide of deforestation is washing over Indonesia, driven by mining, logging, and palm oil. Given the right tools, local communities can resist it.
About Adam
Back in 2013, Adam moved to Indonesia as a Fulbright Fellow to follow his childhood dream of becoming a tropical ornithologist. But after he saw the struggles of people living in rural Borneo, he realized that counting birds wasn't the best way for him to positively impact the planet. So Adam and three co-founders created Planet Indonesia to put Indigenous and local communities back in control of their social and ecological trajectory.
