PHILOSOPHY:
The concept of the 'Id' logo resembles a human fingerprint, which is unique, and no two fingerprints will be found identical among human beings. It also represents the highly diverse biodiversity of Indonesia, both on land and in the sea, and each province has its own unique characteristics.
Specialist Group work
National IUCN Red List of Threatened Species
To develop and regularly update Indonesia's National IUCN Red List of Threatened Species based on the global IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. This will be conducted regionally in conjunction with Biodiversity/Species Conservation Planning and the effort to strengthen the network and capacity building for local scientists and conservation practitioners.
Capacity Building
To enhance the capacity of the group members and key partners by firstly identifying the skills required to conduct species conservation planning and IUCN Red List assessment, and then arranging a series of workshops annually to equip them with these skills. This will be supplemented by providing concise and easily understandable IUCN guidelines/tools in Bahasa Indonesia to be used by the members and government partners.
