What Family of Forest Resource Conservation (FORESTATION) FKT UGM does

Family of Forest Resource Conservation (Forestation) FKT UGM is a non-profit student organization (himpunan mahasiswa) operating within the Faculty of Forestry at Universitas Gadjah Mada in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Founded on December 1, 2007 as FORKOMKON (Forum Komunikasi Konservasi) and rebranded to its current name, the organization serves students enrolled in the Forest Resource Conservation (KSDH) department, delivering conservation education, practical field training, and research opportunities. It operates with a small core leadership of approximately 8 student executives and is governed under the UGM university structure with faculty mentorship.

The organization's product and program portfolio centers on six core offerings: Buletin Akasia, a periodic conservation magazine (17 volumes published through January 2026); Jelajah Konservasi, an annual multi-site field excursion program across Java (Baluran, Bangsring, Petungkriyono, Baturraden, Merbabu); Penelitian Bersama, a 7-10 day annual collaborative research program run through five KP3 study groups (Birds, Primates, Herpetofauna, Wetland, Ecotourism); Pelatihan Metode Survei Primata, a primate population survey methodology training held since 2016 in partnership with SwaraOwa; Bina Konservasi Gadjah Mada, a four-competency cadre curriculum; and Edu-Eco Tourism Campus, an environmental education program for primary-school audiences. The technology footprint is a WordPress-based website with no commercial APIs or digital product layer.

The operating model is non-commercial. All programs are delivered free of charge to participants and resourced through faculty support, small grants, and in-kind contributions from conservation partners including SwaraOwa, Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, Centre for Orangutan Protection, Singapore Zoo, Jurong Bird Park, Fort Wayne Children Zoo, Ostrava Zoo, and the Wildlife Reserves Singapore Conservation Fund. Geographic scope is concentrated in Indonesia (primarily Java) with selective cross-island and international expert engagement. No pricing model, revenue streams, or commercial go-to-market motion applies.

Scale indicators2 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Emerging players

• SwaraOwa: An Indonesian NGO specializing in gibbon (owa) conservation that is FORESTATION's longest-running primate-survey training partner. Highly comparable in focus area (Javan gibbon field methods) and target audience (student conservationists), but operates regionally rather than as a national student body.

Regional players

• Burung Indonesia: An Indonesian bird-conservation organization (BirdLife partner) that aligns directly with FORESTATION's KP3 Burung study group. Comparable in avian conservation and public engagement mission, but operates nationally rather than as a campus-based student society.

Direct peers

• KSSL FKH UGM (Kelompok Studi Satwa Liar, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine UGM): A fellow student wildlife-study organization at Universitas Gadjah Mada that FORESTATION explicitly partners with on joint field trips and knowledge exchange. Its wildlife divisions (primates, birds, reptiles) closely mirror FORESTATION's KP3 groups, making it the most directly comparable student-led conservation peer on the same campus.
• Indonesian Biodiversity Research Center (IBRC): A UGM-based biodiversity research and education unit that overlaps with FORESTATION's focus on forest and wildlife research training. Comparable as a UGM-affiliated biodiversity-education organization, but structured as a faculty center rather than a student association.

Broad incumbents

• WWF Indonesia: A leading international conservation NGO with major operations in Indonesia. While far larger and professionally staffed, WWF Indonesia is comparable as a conservation-education and field-research organization that engages with the same wildlife and forest themes FORESTATION addresses at the student level.
• Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation (BOSF): A large, established Indonesian primate conservation NGO that is a strategic training partner of FORESTATION's Primate Survey Methodology program. It operates at a far greater scale but is comparable as a primate-conservation educator and field-expertise provider in Indonesia.
• Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara (YKAN): The Indonesian arm of The Nature Conservancy, focused on landscape-level conservation across marine, freshwater, and forest ecosystems. Comparable in the conservation-education and capacity-building space FORESTATION occupies, though at vastly larger scale and professional staffing.
• Conservation International Indonesia: A global conservation NGO active in Indonesia with programs in forest protection, species conservation, and youth engagement. Comparable in its emphasis on capacity-building and conservation education, though operating at a professional scale well beyond FORESTATION.
• Centre for Orangutan Protection (COP): An Indonesian orangutan conservation organization that partners with FORESTATION on the annual Orangutan Competition (OuC). Comparable in mission (primate conservation and public outreach) and overlapping in target audience (university and high school students), though far more established.

Others

• Wildlife Reserves Singapore Conservation Fund: A funder partner of FORESTATION's primate-survey training rather than a direct peer. Included because it represents the international-zoo and conservation-funding ecosystem FORESTATION engages with, providing a useful comparable for the kind of international support structure such a student organization can attract.
