Conserve our world
For The People. For The Planet. For The Animals
About Us
Conserve Our World is a not for profit organisation committed to the conservation and regeneration of the habitat of the Orangutan, the land of Setengah and to empowering the people of the Dayak Forest Culture.
Setengah in the heart of Borneo, is a place of ancient rainforests and wildlife under threat. For generations, the Dayak people, the true guardians of this wilderness area, have lived in harmony with the land. Their wisdom, passed down through the ages, has ensured the survival of this irreplaceable ecosystem. But now, their way of life is at risk. Large corporations threaten the very rainforests that sustain them.
Conserve Our World is a small, but determined organisation working with local organisation ICFOW to help the Dayak people to protect their home, culture, and future.
With your support we are not just helping the environment – together we are giving hope to a community and saving an irreplaceable part of our world. Together, let’s rewrite Borneo’s story. Let’s turn conservation into a path to prosperity for both people and the planet.
How we work
Your support helps us to help protect not only the environment but also empower the local people to earn an income by protecting the natural habitat. Land regeneration also supports local wildlife, including the Orangutan.
Conserve Our World works with ICFOW to collect native seeds from the forest, planted in our nursery, nurtured and then replanted back into the forest, ensuring the future of critical habitat for the native wildlife and allowing future generations to create income and be self-supporting.
Your donation helps us to restore damaged ecosystems, and provides the Dayak people with a sustainable income – an income that allows them to say no to harmful industries like palm oil.
ICFOW
Conserve Our World partners with the Indonesia Conservation Foundation Our World (ICFOW) , an organisation created in 2020 to do the work on the ground in Indonesia. ICFOW with the help of Conserve Our World encourages, supports and builds partnering relationships between self-help community groups in Indonesia to conserve the environment and lead to increased health and prosperity in the regions. With the support and assistance of partners like Conserve Our World the ICFOW strives to deliver best practice relief and development projects to needy communities.
Conserve Our World and the organising committee is based in Australia.
Partnering with Communities
At Conserve Our World Indonesia, we believe that real conservation comes when local people living on the edge of parks or wilderness areas, develop economies dependent on a healthy ecological environment.
People at risk are less likely to protect the environment in an attempt to obtain funds to feed, house, and educate their families. That’s why we’re committed to giving the local forest people, the Dayak community, sustainable jobs replanting and protecting their trees in threatened parks and wilderness areas that have been partially destroyed.
With your help and the financial support of our sponsors, Conserve Our World offers training for the local community in the areas of:
- Forest seedling production, planting, and monitoring
- Forest management
- Fire protection
- First aid
- Security
Donations
Together, we can make a difference! With your help, we can:
- Support traditional practices that have protected the forests for generations – knowledge passed down through families, just like our own bush tucker wisdom!
- Help communities cultivate native trees, bringing these vital habitats back to life.
- Provide sustainable income so communities don’t have to rely on harmful industries.
Our organisation is also able to continue its vital work thanks to the financial support of companies around the world, including New Zealand, Netherlands, and Australia

Creating Economic Opportunities
While Conserve Our World’s main focus is on our effort to contribute to global sustainability by protecting a vital ecosystem and promoting sustainable practices, we are also promoting climate change mitigation by increasing forest cover in the Setengah forest. Our work helps communities adapt to climate change and become more resilient to its impact.
We work closely with the Dayak People to support their traditional practices and cultural heritage and creating economic opportunities for local communities through sustainable livelihoods, such as non-timber forest products and eco-tourism.
How We Support Conservation & create jobs
At Conserve Our World, we strongly believe that conservation and community development go hand-in-hand. Our work prioritises collaboration with and empowerment of the local communities where we operate. We provide resources and training, empowering communities to actively protect endangered species and the fragile ecosystems they call home. Our sustainable development models create jobs and income sources for locals, boosting local economies while simultaneously aiding conservation efforts.
Endangered Borneo Orangutans: How Your Support Helps
Borneo’s magnificent orangutans face a dire crisis as their rainforest homes disappear. Rapid deforestation has pushed these gentle giants to the brink of extinction. Conserve Our World partners with local communities living in and around orangutan habitat to take decisive action.
Your donations make a vital difference helping us regenerate forests, establish tree nurseries and replant rainforest areas,creating essential corridors and expanding orangutan habitats. Your contribution provides a lifeline for Borneo’s orangutans and offers hope for their future.
