SURVIVAL UNDER COVID

WE NEED MORE PARTNERS

The formation of a third organisation within Ecolodges Indonesia, the INDONESIA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION – OUR WORLD, in May 2020 has helped to save our company and 89 jobs in five locations in Indonesia from bankruptcy.

2021 will be a tougher year than 2020 as we now have no reserves and no idea when safe international travel can be established to Indonesia.

We commenced with small programs in agriculture, bird guide training and tree protection and conservation. These programs were financed by donations from supporters and using our company Conservation and Agriculture funds.

Agriculture program in Kelimutu

These led to expansion of all activities into larger in Phase 2 programs. Two companies then wished to assist with programs, namely, All for Nature https://www.allfornature.nl/ from the Netherlands and VetLove https://vetlove.com.au/ from Australia. These are called Phase 3 programs. All these are shown on our website https://ecolodgesindonesia.com/conservation-foundation/

Our main program, a large forest tree planting program in the Tanjung Puting National Park, named “REWILD TANJUNG PUTING”, is now backed by private donors and VetLove https://vetlove.com.au/ with collaboration with World Relief Australia (WRA) https://www.wra.org.au/ and with two Indonesia NGOs. This is shown by WRA on their website https://www.wra.org.au/2018conserveourworld The only limitation on this program is funding. Our aim is 150,000 trees on 150 ha with 15,000 in year 1. We have been given a unique area in the south of this park, one of the few places on earth you can easily view Orangutans in the wild.

All programs have added more funds into our economy and increased some salaries of our staff involved in all programs. We need more partners to strengthen our economic base especially in “REWILD TANJUNG PUTING” and AGRICULTURE in any lodge. You could also fund a program you design.

SURVIVAL UNDER COVID

KAMI MEMBUTUHKAN LEBIH BANYAK MITRA

Pembentukan organisasi ketiga dalam Ecolodges Indonesia, YAYASAN KONSERVASI INDONESIA – BUMI KITA, pada Mei 2020 telah membantu menyelamatkan perusahaan kami dan 89 pekerjaan di lima lokasi di Indonesia.

Tahun 2021 akan menjadi tahun yang lebih sulit daripada tahun 2020 karena kami sekarang tidak memiliki cadangan dan belum tahu kapan perjalanan internasional yang aman dapat dilakukan ke Indonesia.

Kami memulai dengan program kecil di bidang pertanian, pelatihan pemandu burung, serta perlindungan dan konservasi pohon. Program-program ini dibiayai oleh sumbangan dari para pendukung dan menggunakan dana Konservasi dan Pertanian perusahaan kami.

Program pertanian di Kelimutu

Hal ini menyebabkan perluasan semua kegiatan menjadi program Fase 2 yang lebih besar. Dua perusahaan kemudian ingin membantu program, yaitu, All for Nature https://www.allfornature.nl/ dari Belanda, dan VetLove https://vetlove.com.au/ dari Australia. Semua ini tergabung dalam program Tahap 3 dan bisa dilihat di situs web kami https://ecolodgesindonesia.com/conservation-foundation/

Penanaman pohon di Desa Tanjung Harapan

Program utama kami, program penanaman pohon hutan besar di Taman Nasional Tanjung Puting, bernama “REWILD TANJUNG PUTING”, sekarang didukung oleh donor swasta dan VetLove https://vetlove.com.au/ bekerja sama dengan World Relief Australia (WRA ) https://www.wra.org.au/ dan dengan dua LSM Indonesia. Ini ditunjukkan oleh WRA di situs web mereka https://www.wra.org.au/2018conserveourworld . Satu-satunya batasan pada program ini adalah pendanaan. Target kami adalah melakukan penanaman 150.000 pohon di 150 ha, dengan target 15.000 pohon di tahun 1. Kami telah diberi area unik di selatan taman ini, salah satu dari sedikit tempat di dunia di mana Anda dapat dengan mudah melihat Orangutan di alam liar.

Semua program telah menambahkan lebih banyak dana dan juga akan memberikan gaji tambahan bagi beberapa pegawai kami yang terlibat dalam semua program. Kami membutuhkan lebih banyak mitra untuk memperkuat basis ekonomi kami terutama di “REWILD TANJUNG PUTING” dan PERTANIAN di semua lodge kami. Anda juga dapat mendanai program yang Anda rancang Bersama kami.
