Forest landscape conservation
Protecting forests as living landscapes
Belantara works across working forests and the communities that depend on them, restoring ecosystems at the scale where ecological health and local livelihoods meet.
Our approach
Conservation begins at the landscape scale
Isolated protected parcels rarely hold on their own. Forest health depends on connections between watersheds, working lands, and the communities who live alongside them.
Our interventions are planned across whole landscapes, so that restoration on one site supports the biodiversity corridors around it.
Focus areas
Three foundations of our work
Ecosystem restoration
Rebuilding degraded forest cover and riparian corridors so that native vegetation and soils can recover over time.
Community empowerment
Working with local stakeholders on livelihoods that depend on healthy forests, grounded in shared decisions on the land.
Biodiversity protection
Safeguarding critical habitats and species corridors through monitoring and collaborative long-term frameworks.
Work with us on the land
We coordinate with institutions and partners on landscape-scale projects grounded in field verification.
