The Wana Manunggal Lestari Cooperative, a smallholder farmers’ cooperative in Indonesia, has been working to improve sustainable forest management with the support of Forest Allies since 2021. Together, they’ve focused on strengthening social governance and improving market access for local forest farmer groups.
A key part of this effort involved implementing the FSC® Asia Pacific Regional Forest Stewardship Standard.
In April 2023, the cooperative became the first Social Forestry permit in Indonesia to achieve FSC® certification – a significant step towards securing better market opportunities for smallholder timber producers. Since then, the cooperative has continued expanding its certified area, strengthening local groups, and working to improve long-term access to sustainable markets
