7. The Challenge
Tin 10 years, the Leuser Conservation Forum grew to a respected, locally embedded, organization of
400 staff.
Notwithstanding its’ track record, the organization does not receive a continuous stream of
funding for its’ operations.
The Rimba Collective opens the possibility to provide much-deserved long-term funding
whereby Environmental Service Outcomes are treated as assets.
For FKL – as for most organizations of this type – it is not easy to build and operate programs in
such a way that they comply with the requirements of the founders of the Rimba Collective.
Rather than developing the required competences, it wishes to focus on what it’s good at.
