/ Community Ownership

Grounded in West Kalimantan

We protect the ecologically vital Tanjung Bawang landscape through direct community stewardship, ensuring blue carbon finance directly funds local patrol boats and mangrove nurseries.

Local Stewardship

Stories from the Mud

Our conservation model succeeds because it is driven entirely by the families who have lived alongside these tidal forests for generations.

Nursery Leader

Cultivating the Canopy

In our community-run nurseries, we cultivate native Rhizophora seedlings. Every seed is gathered, planted, and monitored by local women, transforming carbon finance into immediate household income.

Fisheries Integration

Sustaining Coastal Yields

Healthy mangroves are the nurseries of the sea. By protecting root systems, we secure the breeding grounds for wild crab and fish populations.

Crab Harvests

Direct Income

Ecotourism Paths

Over eighty percent of carbon project revenue flows directly into community-managed funds, bypassing traditional speculative intermediaries entirely.

Restored root networks have directly increased local crab-catch yields, securing both food security and sustainable income for coastal families.

We construct low-impact boardwalks through the Tanjung Bawang canopy, creating sustainable guiding opportunities for local youth.

Ecosystem Guard

Guarding the Forest

Local fishers patrol the waterways of Tanjung Bawang to prevent illegal logging. Funded by blue carbon, these community-led patrols protect both sediment carbon stocks and marine biodiversity.
