Planet Indonesia’s 2025 Annual Report
2025 was a year of upheaval and uncertainty. As global powers shifted priorities away from climate solutions and conservation, slashed global aid, and cut civic spaces and programs, it was a reminder to us again of who should hold the power. Planet Indonesia works from a clear belief: conservation works when power and authority, not just responsibility, returns to the communities that live within delicate ecosystems. 2025 marked a step up in our efforts to shift the power to frontline communities. 102 Community Governance Bodies (CGBs) are now governing more than 1.29 million hectares of forests, mangroves, and marine ecosystems, and have strengthened their socio-economic systems with our support.
