The project consisting of a 36.500-hectare forest, nestled within the Borneo Lowland Rain Forest Ecoregion, located in the Regency of Mahakam Ulu within East Kalimantan Province, exemplifies our dedication to environmental conservation. It plays a crucial role in the Tropical & Subtropical Moist Broadleaf Forests biome, showcasing rich biodiversity, including vulnerable species like Bornean hornbills and sun bears.
Converting this timber harvesting concession and preserving its old-growth trees is essential to prevent the release of hundreds of thousands of tons of CO2 annually, making it a crucial carbon sink and a sanctuary for vulnerable wildlife.

Beyond carbon
A successful project is defined by more than a high amount of CC, for us the social & biodiversity impact is at least as important.
We aim to contribute to the following 7 SDGs in our Indonesia project.
