Who is Yayasan Planet Indonesia?

Yayasan Planet Indonesia is an award-winning grassroots not-for-profit dedicated to the conservation of earth’s ecosystems and communities. We conserve at-risk ecosystems through village-led partnerships. Our model provides community-based services to catalyze community-led conservation.

Yayasan Planet Indonesia (YPI) is at the forefront of community empowerment, utilizing a holistic model to help rural communities achieve sustainable development through nature conservation. We embrace a “bottom up” approach, ensuring communities own every step of the planning, implementation, and management of initiatives, as we understand this to be essential for long-lasting, sustainable change.

What Is Population – Health – Environment? (from the PHE guide by Laura Robinson)

Population-Health-Environment or “PHE” is a term used to describe a holistic approach to sustainable development that reflects the connections between people, their health and the environment.  PHE initiatives are designed to address the multidimensional challenges facing isolated rural communities living in areas of high biodiversity and/or natural resource dependence with limited access to health services.

PHE initiatives typically integrate voluntary family planning and other health services with community-based natural resource management efforts. PHE initiatives may also encompass biodiversity conservation and alternative livelihood initiatives as well as measures to improve water, sanitation & hygiene (WASH) and/or nutrition.

PHE initiatives should be designed to uphold human rights, including the reproductive rights of all individuals to choose freely the number and spacing of their births as well as the management rights of communities with regards to their natural resources. PHE initiatives seek to promote gender equality by engaging men in discussions about family health while involving women in natural resource management decision-making.
