\n\nOUR VISION<\/strong><\/p>\n To encourage, support and build partnering relationships between self-help community groups in Indonesia whereby they can network together in the area of conservation of their environment leading to increased health and prosperity.<\/p>\n And, with the support and assistance of Partners, to deliver world’s best practice relief and development projects to needy communities based on mutual accountability, trust and respect.<\/p>\n OUR MISSION<\/strong><\/p>\n Maximise our efforts to conserve Indonesia’s fauna and flora especially by providing sustainable employment to local communities around conservation areas through community empowerment, irrespective of nationality, race, gender, political conviction or religious belief.<\/p>\n\t We are the NGO arm of Ecolodges Indonesia (ELI), formed in May 2020 as part of our response to the global pandemic of COVID 19. We are managed by the same legal and taxation teams as ELI. Our Chairman is Mr Gede Ori, Operations Manager is Mrs Putu Helmy Mariani, Secretary Mrs Meryl Wilson and Treasurer Mrs Kadek Sri Rahayu. Our principal aim is to attract income for conservation or agricultural activities to provide jobs and increased incomes to our staff and surrounding village communities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t Since its establishment in May 2020, the INDONESIA CONSERVATION FOUNDATION – OUR WORLD (ICFOW) has pioneered 15 programs in three stages. These have greatly assisted in saving many jobs of the local staff in all ecolodges and creating income for some villagers surrounding our lodges<\/em>, during the COVIID pandemic. <\/em><\/p>\n We are now in the post COVID period with three main STAGE 4 or 5 programs\u00a0\u00a0 REWILD TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK, including the FOREST MANAGEMENT TRAINING CENTRE, and AGRICULTURE. We still operate a DEVELOPMENT FUND where unspecified funds are placed to be used in future programs or when needed in current programs.<\/p>\n Our main sponsors so far have been Ecolodges Indonesia based in Bali (including private donations from shareholders and supporters), Ecosafari Indonesia who contribute US10 for every booking made, and VetLove a private animal Health company based on the Gold Coast, Australia. Progress has been slow due to the shutdowns due to the global COVID pandemic, the chaotic state of the Carbon Tree Market due to mismanagement leading to cautious government clearances taking a long time due to due diligence, and the affect of the long rains causing serious flooding all over the planting area.<\/p>\n KAHIU, our principle local partner, based in Pangkalan Bun, Central Borneo has now a signed agreement by the Minister of the Environment and Forestry in Jakarta and the Director of the Tanjung Puting National Park<\/em>. \u00a0We are now, weather permitting all set to proceed.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\tPROGRAM 4.1 REWILD TANJUNG PUTING NATIONAL PARK IN BORNEO\n\t The Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Borneo is one of few places where visitors can be guaranteed seeing wild orangutans. Our iconic Rimba Orangutan Ecolodge (ROEL) is on the Sekonyer river in the northern part of the park, and has been chosen by local villagers as the site of the proposed Forest Management Training Centre. This program, designated CONSERVE OUR WORLD<\/em> has attracted support from many individual donors, WORLD RELIEF AUSTRALIA (WRA) https:\/\/www.wra.org.au\/2018conserveourworld<\/a> where Australian donor tax payers can attract tax relief, Vet Love https:\/\/vetlove.com.au\/<\/a> \u00a0and Gold Coast schools eg Miami High School https:\/\/miamishs.eq.edu.au\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n A five-year agreement has been signed with KAHIU (a local partner based near the park) and the Director of TPNP (Tanjung Puting National Park) contracting the ICFOW Foundation to assist in the financing to plant a large number of trees, in the south of the park near the Sungei Buluh Besar river. This is a very exciting development and requires continuous new funds. <\/em>The program will be implemented by TANJUNG LESTARI, a group of villagers living in the village of Tanjung Harapan near ROEL.<\/p>\n The program has been approved by the Minister of the Environment and Forestry in Jakarta. We are currently delayed from commencing due to very heavy and long rains – see link https:\/\/drive.google.com\/file\/d\/15W4dLo9uV92nUV3TPZ-eb419JpkIukmO\/view?usp=sharing<\/a> where the photos tell the story.<\/p>\n We hope to start shortly and will post regular updates on this website.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t This village-based program is part of the main program of WORLD RELIEF AUSTRALIA described in 4.1, and has been developed into a major activity, to use knowledge from local villagers in all aspects of forest management to (a) learn from them many aspects of local ecology and tree species to plant, (b) identify areas needing further training and (c) train more villagers into a cadre of tree planters and managers.<\/p>\n Villagers and local people on the edge of national parks know much about the forest and have been and will continue to be used as lecturers in the developing centre. The first two courses have been completed with 27 participants who studied tree biology, importance of forests, tree seedling management, tree planting, first aid, guiding principles, GPS mapping, photography and other topics.<\/p>\n We now wish to develop this centre to increase the number of trainers and thus planters, especially to<\/p>\n (i) develop a tented camp in the planting area suitable for both workers and visitors<\/p>\n (ii) establish a good communication system between the Centre and planters<\/p>\n (iii) increase the capability of seedling growth in numbers and diversity<\/p>\n (iv) purchase better and safer boats.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t The agricultural activities in all ecolodges have been unified into one program encompassing food crops, cloves, cattle, vegetables (Kelimutu Crater Lakes), fish farming (Mbeliling and Rimba) and Goat farming using zero grazing at the homes of the staff of Satwa. The program not only gives nutritious food to staff but also adds income to wages. The programs will continue but now need more funding and wish to seek suitable partners to seek programs to give more local employment and food safety to poor communities.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t The Development Fund is for those who wish to support us and are willing to trust the Foundation Management committee to use their funds wisely where the greatest need is eg: assist in boat purchases, seedling development in 4.1 and 4.2, scholarships for students inn 4.2 etc.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t We currently have two options for making donations to our programs, with great thanks and appreciation.<\/p>\n If you wish to receive a tax receipt please email reservation@ecolodgesindonesia.com<\/a>\u00a0with your payment details.<\/p>\n\t You could support this program trough WORLD RELIEF AUSTRALIA (WRA) https:\/\/www.wra.org.au\/2018conserveourworld<\/a> where Australian donor tax payers can attract tax relief<\/p>\n You can pay using either PayPal or your credit card.<\/p>\n This is a simple and secure procedure.<\/p>\n Thank you!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tDONATE NOW\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\tWHO AND WHAT WE ARE<\/strong><\/h2>\n
