Indonesia - Rimba Raya Conservation

The project aims to preserve and protect Borneo's rainforest and promote the restoration of peatland occupation, natural habitats of high biological value that play an important role in carbon retention.

It covers around 64,000 hectares of tropical truffle forest where deforestation for palm oil production has been avoided. This is an area rich in biodiversity, which is home to the endangered Borneo orangutan and many other endangered species.

It has a positive impact on tens of thousands of people in the region who benefit directly or indirectly from the project's activities by promoting socio-economic development through new sources of local income, achieved through training, scholarships and funding for small businesses. It also guarantees the distribution of solar lanterns and water filters to the local community and access to a floating clinic set up to provide the necessary health services to ten villages bordering the project area that would otherwise not have access to this type of service.

The project has three certificates, VCS (the most widely used carbon credit certification in the world), CCB (guarantees that the project is producing tangible climate, community and biodiversity benefits) and SDVISta (contributing to all 17 SDGs).
