WE ARE BORNEO NATURE FOUNDATION

An Indonesian conservation NGO with global impact.

We believe everything is connected

You. Us. Rainforest. Borneo. Nature. Everything.

Orangutans, gibbons, peat-bogs, moss, and bats – even ants.

Everything is connected, everything is interlinked.

Because of this magical, scientific fact, we act in Borneo.

One of the most important ecosystems on Earth. 

Connecting people to conservation that helps life everywhere thrive.

our mission

We collaborate to protect Borneo’s rainforest, one of the most important ecosystems on Earth, with science, community-led conservation and education; for a world where people and nature thrive.
