Kemuning Forest
Kemuning Forest is one of the last tropical lowland forests in Central Java, home to incredible biodiversity and a community-driven coffee agroforestry tradition that has thrived for years. Managed together by PERUM Perhutani and local villagers, the forest shows how conservation and livelihoods can grow side by side.
Since 2016, the Javan Wildlife Institute (JAWI) has worked closely with the people of Kemuning—leading research, protecting wildlife, and empowering communities to create sustainable forest-based products. More than just a forest, Kemuning is a living proof that humans, nature, and wildlife can thrive in harmony when we care for each other.
