Tanah Air Beta

Tanah Air Beta was established in 2016 by a group of action-researchers and conservation & development practitioners interested in addressing conservation and development challenges at the landscape scale. We understand landscapes are complex social-ecological systems and they require holistic, problem focused, collaborative efforts to address their challenges of delivering sustainable societal benefits. TAB conducts research for conservation activities & facilitate multistakeholder platform in landscape-seascape across Indonesia - with emphasis on eastern Indonesia. We work with local & indigenous communities. We support community efforts to conserve nature in various categories of protected areas. We have worked in and around national parks and other protected areas, in "Other Effective Conservation Management"(OECM) initiatives and recently in Critical Ecosystem Territories (Kawasan Ekosystem Esensial - KEE). We are interested in productive landscapes and we work directly with local management authorities. We produce policy documents, we represent conservation interests in various decision making forum in landscapes and we publish scholarly papers on conservation issues.
