Nature-Based Solutions for Climate and Community

At Daya Pertiwi Foundation (DPF), our Environment Programs integrate forestry, sustainable agroforestry, water innovation, and green MSMEs into one ecosystem-based approach. We believe that protecting forests, restoring land, and providing clean water are not only essential for the planet but also powerful tools to strengthen rural economies.

Forestry

Through community forestry and ecosystem restoration, DPF reduces deforestation, restores tropical rainforest biodiversity, and creates green livelihoods. Women and youth play a central role in managing forest products such as traditional herbs, fruits, and medicinal plants. Looking ahead, DPF is preparing to adopt drone monitoring and AI mapping to track forest health and biodiversity, while exploring the potential of carbon credit markets to support communities and global climate goals.

Green Rural Economy & MSMEs

DPF empowers thousands of micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) to adopt green and circular economy practices. Our programs connect rural entrepreneurs with markets and investment opportunities, including eco-friendly products, zero-emission supply chains, and digital marketplaces. Women-led enterprises form a majority of these businesses, making gender inclusion central to our approach. This creates a blended finance ecosystem where communities and investors grow together.

Water Innovation

For more than three decades, DPF has delivered clean water systems for drinking, farming, and livestock in East Java, Nusa Penida, and West Timor. Today, we scale up this experience with renewable energy-powered water purification systems, in partnership with global companies such as Yamaha Motor Nuansa Indonesia. Our next step is to integrate IoT-based water monitoring to ensure safe, climate-resilient, and sustainable water access for communities.

Our Global Contribution

By integrating climate action with rural development, DPF contributes directly to:

SDG 6: Clean Water and Sanitation
SDG 13: Climate Action
SDG 15: Life on Land
Indonesia's Net Zero 2060 commitment

DPF's Environment Programs are more than conservation efforts-they are investable solutions for a greener planet and a resilient future.
