A tide of deforestation is washing over Indonesia, driven by mining, logging, and palm oil. Given the right tools, local communities can resist it.

The Mission
Healthy tropical ecosystems.
How It Works
Planet Indonesia provides communities with the tools, skills, and incentives to manage common resources to the benefit of all. They begin by addressing the universal need to improve livelihoods through savings and loans groups. This also strengthens governance, as participation in savings and loan groups is contingent on participation in governance. The result is a stronger community that can fend for itself and take care of its territory.
The Dream
Thriving communities that govern and sustainably manage millions of hectares of tropical forests and marine ecosystems.
Why We're In
Planet Indonesia combines excellent science, deep-rooted community experience, and a systematic, replicable model. Their own results are impressive, but even more promising is the replication of their model through NGO partners. This is—sadly—unusual in the world of conservation, and they have become an important exemplar with real prospects of scale.
