Fauna & Flora International (FFI) saves species from extinction and habitats from destruction, whilst improving the livelihoods of local people. Our guiding principles are to work through local partnerships, act as a catalyst for change, make conservation relevant and base decisions on sound science. Founded in 1903, FFI is the world's longest established international conservation body; our conservation work, and impact, spans the globe.
Indonesia Marine Project
FFI's marine is currently focusing in Aceh and West Papua, and potentially will expand in any other project sites across the country. FFI has worked in Aceh since 2011, partnering with island communities and government bodies to better protect the marine environment and strengthen the province's customary fishing institutions, the Panglima Laot (which roughly translates as "sea commander"). FFI's marine work in Raja Ampat has started in 2016 as part of FFI's wider Ridge to Reef Program in the Raja Ampat Archipelago. Our marine work focusses primarily on community-based marine conservation at Misool Island, conserving seagrass and coral reef habitats in collaboration with indigenous communities, as well as on the protection of globally threatened marine species such as Dugong and Turtles. The wider Ridge-to-Reef approach in the Raja Ampat archipelago aims to reduce land-based impacts on marine ecosystems through community-based forest conservation, collaborative protected area management, community-based sustainable tourism development, and 'green' spatial planning interventions.
