About Yayasan Sangga Bumi Lestari
Protected areas are not enough. Conservation must also be a systemic part of the broader and complex landscapes where ecosystems, livelihoods and economies need to thrive. Sangga Bumi Lestari (SBL) is an Indonesian NGO that works at this intersection, convening communities, companies and government to align interests that rarely meet. Grounded in deep local relationships and knowledge, and supported by technical expertise and field data, SBL guides land use decisions in West Kalimantan; a high-biodiversity region, shaped by industrial concessions. This work involves stress-testing conservation models that are rooted in local context and responsive to competing priorities. Designed to hold under political, social and economic pressure across Indonesia, these models show that effective conservation is possible even where biodiversity, villages, plantations, and infrastructure coexist.
