Conserving threatened ecosystems in Indonesia with local communities.
We partner with Planet Indonesia, a locally based organisation that works with villages in the West Kalimantan province of Indonesia to address the twin challenges of poverty and environmental degradation and protect vulnerable ecosystems. Planet Indonesia helps villages establish self-governed Conservation Cooperatives to manage their natural resources, improve agricultural practices, restore degraded ecosystems and patrol protected land and sea to deter illegal logging, fishing and poaching. To strengthen the monitoring of local wildlife population and allow for the rapid detection of threats, Planet Indonesia also deploys highly sensitive microphones and AI-driven eco-acoustic software across these community conservation areas.
