Founded in 1903, Fauna dan Flora International (FFI) is the worlda �s longest-established international conservation organisation. Our vision is to create a sustainable future for the planet where biodiversity is conserved by the people living closest to it. We aim to do this through the conservation of threatened species and ecosystems worldwide, choosing solutions that are sustainable, based on sound science and take account of human needs. We operate primarily in developing countries where there is little capacity to conserve endangered and threatened habitats and species. We have become a trusted entity in the world of conservation.

Working closely with local partners, the Asia-Pacific Programme currently includes a broad range of species and landscape targeted conservation initiatives in Cambodia, China, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Lao PDR and Myanmar, and has country programme offices in Phnom Penh, Nanning, Jakarta, Manila and Hanoi. Around 70 projects are being implemented in the region by a team of approximately 200 staff, consultants, volunteers and partner organisations with an annual regional budget of approximately USD 9 million.

The Indonesia Programme is the largest in the Asia-Pacific Programme with an annual budget in the region of USD 3 million.

As the programme evolved, landscape level initiatives for elephant conservation were undertaken in Aceh Province.N In the past five years, the programme has grown to include initiatives on sustainable palm oil and high conservation value forest in Kalimantan, NGO network support in Jambi, REDD developments in Kalimantan and Papua, biofuel development on Lombok and urban conservation in Jakarta. The Indonesia Programme also continues to prioritise species conservation initiatives in Sumatra and Kalimantan.
