Our Science

Methods used by Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara for conservation initiatives across Indonesia:

  1. Natural Climate Solutions (NCS)

    NCS is a series of mitigation efforts based on natural resources that cover the protection of forest and wetlands, forest management improvement, and forest, peatland, and mangrove ecosystem restoration. More info

  2. Reduce Impact Logging (RIL-C)

    . RIL-C or Reduce Impact Logging has the potential to reduce permanent emission up to 40% or 40.4 ton C/ha and contributes to at least 13% of the total emission reduction target More info

  3. SIGAP (Aksi inspiratif Warga untuk Perubahan)

    Almost 32 thousand villages in Indonesia are located in state forest areas or kawasan hutan, and 70% of these villagers depend on forest resources for their daily lives. More info

  4. FishFace

    Picture identification application called FishFace becomes an innovation that allows fishers to identify and track their catch using cellular technology. More info

  5. Crew-Operated Data Recording System (CODRS)

    CODRS is a data collecting system operated by YKAN’s fisher partners. More info

  6. Development by Design (DbD)

    YKAN integrated conservation planning with development forecasting in an approach called Development by Design (DbD) to improve land uses decision-making among various objectives of stakeholders in a landscape. More info

  7. ODK Collect

    Participative monitoring via On Cloud Data Storing System (ODK Collect) More info
