Exploring Indika Nature: From Nature, For Nature
At Indika Nature, we plant, nurture, and cultivate nature-based solutions to address the most pressing question of our time: How to create a future that respects the boundaries of our planet, the dignity and well-being of our fellow humans, and the fair and sustainable development of society.
Our story began in 2019, premised on the need for bold and innovative approaches to address the climate crisis. Today, we have built a diverse range of businesses grounded in the three foundational pillars of Energy Plantation, Environmental Services, and Agroforestry & Non-Timber Forest Products.
At the core of it all is the manifestation of everything we stand for: Nature itself. Our 170,000-hectare forest land bank in Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, has been painstakingly restored from a degraded state to a biodiversity haven. It is now the engine that drives our clean energy initiatives, our small-farmer empowerment efforts, and our carbon sequestration activities.
Bridging local communities with global partners, we seek to make positive change with an enduring impact for people and planet.
