Our Story
Bumi Lestari Conservana processes non-timber forest products from Indonesian conserved forests, such as vanilla pods, coffee beans, essential oil plants etc. We process these non-timber forest products into consumer-ready end products such as spices and ingredients for the food and beverage industries. We manufacture, package, and distribute these products both locally and globally. Our goal is to improve the livelihoods of forest communities by reviving traditional forest gardening culture and expanding climate smart agriculture. We believe that these strategies will help to protect forest ecosystems, restore wildlife habitats, and mitigate the effects of climate change.

Impacts
Conservana's Non-Timber Forest Products (NTFPs) are cultivated through a rustic agriculture system that avoids the cutting of large trees. This approach helps to preserve biodiversity by maintaining the natural habitat of various wildlife species within the forest.
Our sustainable agricultural practices contribute to the mitigation of deforestation. By rehabilitating degraded areas without compromising existing large trees, we actively combat the threat of deforestation, ensuring the longevity of vital ecosystems.
Conservana's approach embraces sustainable agricultural practices, moving away from large-scale, intensive monocultures. This not only helps in maintaining soil health but also promotes a diverse range of crops, creating a balanced ecosystem that supports wildlife.
Our commitment to a rustic agriculture system aligns with climate-resilient practices. By avoiding disruptive deforestation and implementing sustainable farming methods, Conservana contributes to climate change mitigation and adaptation efforts.
Conservana's initiatives not only benefit wildlife and the environment but also contribute to the creation of sustainable livelihoods for local communities. This multifaceted approach ensures a balance between economic development and environmental conservation.
By avoiding the use of harmful pesticides and adopting environmentally friendly cultivation methods, Conservana minimizes pollution and contamination risks. This ensures that our products contribute to a healthier ecosystem.

By aligning with local practices, Conservana fosters a harmonious relationship with the community, promoting cultural preservation alongside sustainable economic development.
Women play a significant role in Conservana, serving as major employees. Our practices are designed to empower women by providing a supportive work environment that allows them to balance their roles at work, family, and in adherence to local traditions. This inclusivity contributes to gender equality and enhances the overall social fabric of the community.
The involvement of local communities in the cultivation of NTFPs fosters a sense of ownership and responsibility. Conservana, in collaboration with local community leaders, routinely monitors and evaluates these practices. This engagement ensures sustainable management and helps address issues related to enforcement and capacity.
