WHAT IS
RIMBA RAYA?

Rimba Raya is a living example
of an economically viable
alternative to deforestation.

  • Rimba Raya is located in Central Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, and is one of the largest REDD+ peat swamp forest projects in the world, avoiding nearly 130 million tonnes of carbon emissions

  • Rimba Raya serves as a functional prototype for the Indonesian government’s model village (Desa Mandiri) goals. Our community programs directly mirror the pillars of the Kemendes PDTT agenda, creating a self-sustaining ecosystem for the 14 villages within our concession.

  • Rimba Raya is the “World’s First SDG-Verified Model Village Program,” serving as a vehicle for achieving Indonesia’s 2045 “Golden Indonesia” rural development goals.

  • Rimba Raya developes livelihood programmes in surrounding villages (addressing all 17 of the UN Sustainable Development Goals) to provide education, employment and hope for the future.

The Rimba Raya Reserve achieved another major milestone in September 2020, becoming the first REDD+ project in the world to be audited for SDG (UN Sustainable Development Goal) compliance under the SD Vista Standard – achieving the highest possible rating of contributing to all 17 UN SDGs.

Rimba Raya was the first validated REDD+ project – ever – under the Verified Carbon Standard (VCS) and helped define the criteria by which all projects are measured.

We were also the first REDD+ forest-carbon project in the world to receive triple-gold validation under the Climate Community and Biodiversity Alliance Standard (CCBA)

I believe that our natural resources and human capital should be able to lift our nation from inequality and proverty.

To do this, we have to have the understanding and the capability to manage our abundance of resources. We have to align our resource management approach with the economic idealogy of our founding fathers. This is a historical challenge for our generation.
