Empowering communities is the key to creating sustainable change
The KERABAT Consortium, supported by KfW/IUCN, conducted participatory land use mapping in seven RB Wildlife Reserve (RBWR) villages to identify land use patterns and promote sustainable livelihoods. Activities included mapping training, discussion series, field surveys, consultations, and land use planning. The project revealed extensive mixed rubber forests vital for local livelihoods and identified potential communal lands for optimal use, supporting biodiversity protection and community sustainability.
The feasibility study was conducted around Rimbang Baling Wildlife Reserve and focused on five primary commodities: agarwood, durian, petai, rattan manau, and dragon blood. Recommendations include developing these NTFPs in designated blocks, using local resources, building community capacity, and strengthening market access through agreements between farmers and buyers for sustainable development.
The rubber feasibility study aims to value chains, market chains, rubber community development options, and potential rubber businesses from village to provincial levels. This study identified several key stakeholders including smallholders, middlemen, traders, and a rubber factory in Jambi. This study highlighted price fluctuations along the value chain and proposed strategies to enhance community livelihoods through several initiatives, such as facilitating potential partners and capacity building to increase rubber production.
The study aims to identify existing and potential economic activities, assess business feasibility, and formulate policies for sustainable inland fisheries development to support community livelihood in the Subayang River area (Rimbang Baling Wildlife Area). This study highlighted ‘Lubuk Larangan’, a fisheries management based on local wisdom to restrict fishing activities for a certain period of time.
A series of discussion and socioeconomic surveys was conducted to update socioeconomic information about he communities living within and around the Rimbang Baling Wildlife Reserve Landscape, Riau, Sumatra. This document includes more specific information on seven villages within and around Rimbang Baling Wildlife Reserve, which are the key villages for the Tiger Programme (ITHCP) Phase III work between 2022 and 2024.

KERABAT Consortium, Led by YAPEKA work in BBKSDA Riau in collaboration with INDECON and FHK work in a unique area, where the remaining Sumatran tiger population is critically endangered (the IUCN RedList) and coexist with the local human population. This area, known as the Rimbang Baling landscape – with a Wildlife Reserve as its core area – is located in Riau Province, Sumatra Island of Indonesia. Part of the IUCN ITHCP Phase III supported by KfW, this project’s objective is to help the local community recognize the value of actively conserving Sumatran tigers while simultaneously improving their quality of life.
Conservation of Rimbang Baling Wildlife Reserve (RBWR) requires meaningful participation from diverse stakeholders, for example through conservation and sustainable livelihood aspects. Engaging the management authority, local governments and community who live inside and adjacent to RBWR are essential. Multi-layer collaborative approaches include central government, local government, village government and private sector.
Sebagai mitra pelaksana pemerintah dalam pengelolaan TNP. Laut Sawu, menguatkan jejaring mitra lokal, dengan model bisnis ekowisata laut berbasis masyarakat
Duyung (Dugong dugon), satu-satunya mamalia laut herbivora di Indonesia, saat ini menghadapi ancaman kepunahan. Hingga saat ini informasi populasi duyung di Indonesia masih sangat terbatas, meskipun upaya pemantauan sudah banyak dilakukan. WISDAM menawarkan harapan besar dalam konservasi biota laut. Hasil analisis UAV dengan WISDAM, berhasil medeteksi kemunculan dugong, penyu serta ikan pari selama pemantauan di wilayah perairan Sulawesi Utara. Dengan memanfaatkan AI, proses analisis data dapat dipercepat, memungkinkan pemantauan biodiversitas laut secara lebih efisien dan akurat secara spasial. Teknologi ini memiliki potensi besar untuk diaplikasikan di wilayah lain di Indonesia, dalam upaya pemantauan biodiversitas laut lainnya seperti penyu, paus, lumba-lumba, pari, dan hiu.
