Our projects in Kalimantan

In Kalimantan, on the island of Borneo, we run projects in and around both Tanjung Puting National Park and Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve. Using our holistic approach to conservation we focus on wildlife, habitat, and community, to ensure effective, sustainable long-term results.

Our projects include the rehabilitation and release of wildlife, such as orangutans, sea turtles, endangered birds, and sun bears. Along with this, we are also restoring the native forests, monitoring the existing forests and helping to conserve native species. Our community development programs are about empowerment; we help local people to develop alternative income sources through agroforestry and organic/self-sustainable farming, and we also provide environmental education.

We have been working in Kalimantan since 1997. Today, our projects are funded by many generous donors, including the Humane Society International (Australia), who have supported us for more than 14 years,  Boeing, Taronga Foundation, Buy One Give One, Save Indonesian Endangered Species and Eco Future Fund Japan.
