WWF Indonesia

WWF Indonesia has been supporting the Central Kalimantan Province’s Department of Agriculture in developing a 2021-2026 Strategic Plan and currently finalising a 2021-2040 Master Plan that focuses on smallholders mapping and capacity development as the government is interested to push all plantations in indonesia to be ISPO (Indonesia Sustainable Palm Oil) certified by 2025. This was followed up collaboratively by the Department of Food Security and Agriculture of Katingan Regency together with WWF Indonesia through an oil palm smallholder plantation and high conservation value (HCV) 5 (livelihood aspects) and 6 (cultural aspects) mapping in Katingan Regency. WWF Indonesia has also been working in the Katingan Regency to improve the food security of communities around major palm oil plantations by building food crops and fishery demonstration plot in cooperation with the Department of Food Security and Agriculture, Field Extension Workers, Department of Health, and Department of Labour and Transmigration of Katingan.

WWF Indonesia is a national conservation organisation and is part of WWF's global network. WWF started its work in Indonesia since 1962 with research on the Javan rhinoceros in Ujung Kulon. Currently, WWF Indonesia is active in 34 field work areas, in 18 provinces to be precise, from Aceh to Papua. WWF works with the government, private sector, NGOs, civil society groups, and the public at large.

Through our Market Transformation Programme, WWF Indonesia have supported and engaged independent smallholders to work toward sustainability. In 2013, WWF Indonesia succeeded to support independent smallholder groups in Pelalawan, Riau to obtain the first RSPO certification in Indonesia. Since then, WWF Indonesia has facilitated other independent smallholders in West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan toward strengthening their legal status and inclusion in province/regency-wide database, strengthening their capacity in organisational management, best management practices, and good agricultural practices for RSPO certification.
