Yayasan Alam Sehat Lestari recruitement - Job offer, internship and volunteering

Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI) began when we asked the above question to communities around Gunung Palung National Park (TNGP) in West Kalimantan. The ASRI team spent 400 hours sitting with and listening to the communities. Here's what the communities asked for: "Quality and affordable health services, and training in organic farming." The lack of access to health services, which results in high health costs, and the lack of alternative livelihoods are the reasons why people cut wood in forest areas. Based on the results of these discussions, in 2007 ASRI opened KLINIK ASRI services to provide quality and affordable health services for all levels of society. So people no longer need to choose between: health or forest.

Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI) is a non-governmental organization dedicated to advancing planetary health — the understanding that human wellbeing and the health of nature are inextricably linked. Founded to respond to two entwined crises in western Indonesian Borneo — high rates of illegal logging and poor access to healthcare — ASRI has operated around Gunung Palung National Park (GPNP), a 108,000-hectare rainforest in western Borneo, since 2007. GPNP is home to 5–10% of the world’s remaining orangutans and is a watershed for 60,000 people.

Through an approach called Radical Listening, ASRI collaborates with Indigenous Peoples and Local Communities (IPLC) to design and implement community-led solutions that protect rainforest ecosystems while supporting human wellbeing. ASRI’s impact to date includes a 90% decrease in households participating in illegal logging, stabilization of primary forest loss, 21,000 hectares of secondary forest regrowth, a 67% decrease in infant mortality, and declining rates of malaria and tuberculosis. In 2018, ASRI expanded its model to villages around Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (BBBRNP).

Building on nearly two decades of proven impact, ASRI is now collaborating with Indonesia’s Ministry of Health to scale its Planetary Health model nationally — with active pilots in Tambrauw (Southwest Papua), South Papua, South Sulawesi, and Central Kalimantan. ASRI is a recipient of the Kalpataru Award, Indonesia’s highest environmental honor.
