About Us

Delta Kapuas Project was initiated to improve the welfare of communities in the coastal areas and around the Kapuas River, West Kalimantan.

This initiative combines forest conservation efforts with the improvement of local community welfare through sustainable village forest management.

We work together with communities, government, the private sector, and environmental organizations to create a balance between economic well-being and environmental sustainability.

Delta Kapuas Project believes that change does not always come from big steps, but from the courage to keep moving forward. That is why we choose to remain present, planting hope in every step, and ensuring that the voice of nature is never truly lost.

WHAT WE DO

Creating Fair and Inclusive Forest Management

Delta Kapuas Project falls under the AFOLU category (Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use) and focuses on a REDD project (Reducing Emissions from Deforestation and Forest Degradation) with three main pillars:

Institutional Strengthening

Institutional capacity is the main foundation of village forest management. We strengthen LPHDs so they can become independent and professional institutions.

Landscape Management

Landscape management is key to balancing the ecological and economic functions of the forest. This approach is ecosystem-based and actively involves local communities.

Enterprise Development

We develop forest-based green economies to improve the welfare of village communities.

Project 

Delta Kapuas Project is implemented across three major landscapes.

Each project is designed to strengthen community welfare while safeguarding village forests.
