PRCF Indonesia

Community forest management, conservation of crocodiles, gibbons, and sea turtles, revitalisation of cultural arts, and sustainable livelihoods

What we do

PRCF programs in Indonesia include rehabilitation of degraded lands, supporting  village institutions and sustainable community livelihood initiatives, surveying and protecting endangered species and their habitats, facilitating the establishment of commune-based forest management, and revitalising Dayak and Iban cultural weaving arts. Learn more

What we protect

We work to protect endangered wildlife species and their habitat, including Mueller Gibbon, Tomistoma schlegelii, and sea turtles, through community-based and led initiatives.  We also with Dayak communities–in the Sintang region, and Iban communities–in the Kappas Hulu region, to help them protect their own cultural ikat weaving arts and tradditions. Learn more

Threats we address

PRCF Indonesia addresses the threat of natural resource degradation.  Without protecting and rehabilitating natural resources of which wildlife and people depend, conservation efforts and community livelihoods become unsustainable.  We also address the threat of disappearing ancestral cultural arts, particularly Dayak ikat weaving arts that are increasingly getting lost with passing of older weavers.  Learn more

Current initiatives

PRCF Indonesia presently works with Dayak, Iban, and Melayu community groups in West Kalimantan to survey and protect the Tomistoma Crocodile and its habitat in the landscape of Danau Sentarum National Park.  We also research the conservation status of Mueller Gibbon and several sea turtle species in West Kalimantan.  In a recent and most exciting initiative, we facilitate establishment of community forest management areas. Learn more

Past Initiatives

Previously, in West Kalimantan, we have worked in village development and livelihood support activities, in the buffer zone of Bukit Baka National Park.  This was actually PRCF’s first activity ever, which gave basis for expansion into its present level of work.  In the Sintang area, we engaged in cultural arts revitalisation targeting the Dayak Desa sub-group, and in establishment of pilot models for sustainable agro-enterprises and development of village institutions .   Learn more

Upcoming initiatives

Planned PRCF Indonesia activities include further work towards community-based conservation of the endangered Tomistoma crocodile; continued support into community-led initiatives on conservation of endangered sea turtle nesting sites in Sambas; consolidation of community forest conservation work at seven community forests areas established through Yayasan PRCF Indonesia, implementation of a 25-year Plan Vivo Project with local communities though a Hutan Desa program at the village of Nanga Lauk, and scoping possibilities of an integrated conservation and development program for community-based management at the Dolok Simalalaksa/ Hadabuan Hills in North Sumatra.  Learn more.
