Indonesia

Country Context

Indonesia's marine ecosystems face mounting pressures from climate change, pollution, and unsustainable practices, threatening both biodiversity and the livelihoods of coastal communities.

Our Impact

SZM's marine monitoring systems protect approximately 50,000 hectares of critical habitat across 15 marine protected areas. These solar-powered installations provide real-time data on illegal fishing activity and environmental conditions, improving enforcement capabilities by 60% while supporting conservation efforts.

Coastal communities benefit from solar-powered water purification systems serving 50,000 residents. These installations reduce plastic waste from bottled water by 40% while providing reliable access to clean water. The systems decrease household water expenses and marine pollution simultaneously.

Sustainable livelihood programs have trained 2,000 coastal community members in solar-powered aquaculture and eco-tourism enterprises. Participants have established 150 sustainable businesses that increase household incomes by 35% while reducing pressure on marine resources, demonstrating how economic development can align with conservation goals.
