Adopt a Tree

Tree Adoption is interpreted as a public reward given to a community for its contributions to tree care based on an agreed mechanism between said community and the customary forest group. A person willing to participate in tree adaption will hereafter be referred to as the caregiver of a tree in customary forest. This adoption scheme will establish a fund that will disburse funds to the relevant customary forest group.

Customs Protected, Forests Sustained

Indigenous communities uphold their traditions and customary laws as the first line of defense for the forest. When customs remain alive, forests stay sustained, natural resources are preserved, and future generations inherit a living space that endures.

In January 1992, 12 NGOs in South Sumatra, West Sumatra, Jambi, and Bengkulu founded WARSI as a network for conservation and community empowerment. Originally named Yayasan WARSI (Warung Informasi Konservasi, or Conservation Information Hub), the organization became an important forum on forestry policy issues.

In July 2002, Yayasan WARSI transformed into an association (Perkumpulan) under the name Komunitas Konservasi Indonesia WARSI, marking an important milestone in strengthening the institution and its commitment to conservation and community empowerment.
