Community-led Nurseries for Forest Restoration: The Case of Giri Jaya in West Java, Indonesia

The Giri Jaya Forest Farmer Group in West Java, Indonesia has now become a force in forest restoration. After a decade of hard work and commitment to support the vision of greening their province’s landscapes, Giri Jaya now owns and manages a self-sustaining nursery for timber species and agroforestry.
Pak Tatang Sutardi, who heads the forest farmer group, shared with the Alliance his dream to transform their independent nursery into a space where locals, especially the out-of-school youths, can get jobs and become financially independent while accelerating efforts to restore forest and degraded landscapes in West Java.
