The Borneo Project brings international attention and support to community-led efforts to defend forests, sustainable livelihoods, and human rights. We believe that protecting human rights and environmental integrity in Borneo is a critical component of the global movement for a just and peaceful world.

Goals:

  • To support indigenous-led campaigns to secure legal land rights, and to support actions and activists to preserve indigenous land rights.
  • To support communities acting to preserve and conserve local ecosystems.
  • To support cultural conservation efforts for indigenous and forest-dependent communities in Borneo.
  • To educate the American public about the importance of Borneo, indigenous rights, and the role of forests in climate change and biodiversity conservation.
