PIMS-9987 GBFF Wildlife Ecotourism

About this project

The GBFF ECOTOURISM Project in Indonesia addresses deforestation, illegal wildlife trade, and unsustainable tourism that threaten biodiversity and local communities across five National Parks—Tanjung Puting, Way Kambas, Baluran, Alas Purwo, and Wakatobi—where limited infrastructure, community participation, and reinvestment of tourism revenue constrain conservation outcomes. The project aims to strengthen biodiversity conservation by establishing wildlife-based ecotourism as a community-driven, sustainable development model, implemented through five strategies: strengthening enabling frameworks through national action plans, standards, and financing mechanisms; building local capacity and infrastructure in target parks; supporting community-led and IPLC-inclusive ecotourism initiatives; enhancing knowledge management, marketing, and information sharing; and applying a participatory, gender-responsive monitoring and evaluation system to ensure adaptive management and equitable benefit sharing. Through this inclusive approach, the project will improve management across approximately 1,932,637 hectares of protected areas, covering terrestrial zones in four national parks and the marine area of Wakatobi, while directly benefiting around 6,000 local people, 40 percent of whom are women.
