The UN Development Programme (UNDP) is working with local communities in Indonesia's Kalimantan forests to protect biodiversity and generate sustainable livelihoods.
Traditionally, the cultivation of natural dyes are used for traditional weaving in Kalimantan, Indonesia's territory on the island of Borneo. These methods are being used as a means of forest conservation, with the planting and cultivating natural dye-producing plants.
In Ensaid Panjang village, the products woven are not just commercially valuable - they serve as a key link to Indigenous traditions and lifeways, including ceremonies and rituals.
