52% of Indonesia's land area is covered by forests
Indonesia’s forests are among the most climatically and ecologically significant on Earth, covering 52% of the country’s land area. Indonesia’s forests directly support the livelihoods of 50–60 million Indonesians.
- Indonesia is recognized as one of the world’s 17 “megadiverse” countries.
- Indonesia aims to make its Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) sector a net carbon sink by 2030 and to maintain that position through 2060 and beyond.
- Key components of the FOLU Net Sink 2030 strategy include:
- Rehabilitating 12 million hectares of degraded land
- Controlling deforestation and forest degradation
- Promoting sustainable forest management, including agroforestry
Dayak Community Involvement
Future Forests is currently developing a potential project in West Kalimantan
This potential project is designed to support 12 Dayak villages—home to over 950 Indigenous households—who rely on surrounding forests for their livelihoods.
This planned initiative would work in close partnership with local communities to promote sustainable land-use alternatives to practices like swidden agriculture and illegal logging, which have contributed to forest degradation in the region. If implemented, the project envisions allocating over 6,000 hectares for community use and integrating restorative land management approaches. The goal is to protect biodiversity while building long-term economic and environmental resilience for Dayak families.
