Nature conservation and the needs of the population must not be in conflict with each other.
The nature reserve Samboja Lestari offers a safe income, health and education to the local population. Agriculture, nursery, production of compost, reforestation and the creation of infrastructure provide safe workplaces. |

"This offers an alternative to the people, so that they
don't have to clear the forest any more. Thus we can show
the world, that nature and humans are able to coexist and
don't have to exclude each other."
says Dr. Willie Smits, founder of BOS Indonesia. |

| The safety of the nature reserve can be guaranteed in the long run only by the acceptance through the local people. The success of the project guarantees a better standard of living and vice versa. | |||
