The incredible rainforests of Borneo, Indonesia, are some of the most species-rich and biodiverse in the world.

Borneo: The Lungs of the World (9:55) Kalimantan, the Indonesian portion of the island of Borneo, is one of the most biodiverse places on the planet. TNC has a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to help save the rainforests of Borneo.

TNC is teaming up with Arhaus to fight against climate change and biodiversity loss. Thanks to their $10 million gift, The Nature Conservancy and its Indonesian affiliate, YKAN, can continue collaborating with the Indonesian government, companies and communities to expand, connect and sustainably manage these forests for future generations. In 2026, that support helped secure the 43,000-hectare Amindo forest concession, creating new opportunities for wildlife conservation and sustainable livelihoods.

The oldest tropical forests on Earth

Indonesian Borneo’s forests are more than 140 million years old. And though they only cover about 1% of Earth’s surface, their biodiversity is staggering, housing 10% of the world’s plants, 16% of reptiles and amphibians, 17% of birds and 12% of mammals, including the iconic and critically endangered orangutan. Learn more about TNC’s innovative work in Borneo.

“The amount of good things that come out of protecting these rainforests is just unimaginable.”
