By Asti Noor, Cindy Julianty,and Mega Ayu Lestari

Established to promote recognition and mobilize support for ICCAs–territories of life at the national level, the Working Group ICCAs Indonesia (WGII) has been working closely alongside Indigenous and traditional communities. Having now evolved into a formal, membership-based association, Perkumpulan Gerakan Konservasi Rakyat Nusantara (Association of the Indonesian People’s Conservation Movement), it collaborates closely with the ICCA Custodian Network of Indonesia to advance this shared mission.
