Konservasi Indonesia adopts a Nature Climate Solution (NCS) strategy in its sustainable landscape seascape approach. The strategy focuses on securing and protecting critical ecosystems, restoring degraded areas, and improving production practices. In parallel, Konservasi Indonesia also contributes to the conservation of biodiversity in Indonesia through supporting Government of Indonesia in data collection, policy formulation, and mapping.
