What Bumiterra does

Bumiterra, legally PT. Bumi Terra Gaia, is an Indonesia-based reforestation services company founded in 2022 by co-founders Tara Susanto and James Joseph. The company restores degraded rainforest land in Kalimantan (Borneo) and delivers carbon sequestration, biodiversity regeneration, and socio-economic uplift to local communities through a network of community keepers (Mitra Penghijauans). Bumiterra maintains a headquarters in Menteng, Central Jakarta, and operates restoration sites centered on Desa Rumbih, with reported impact of 35 hectares restored, 16,262 trees planted across 58 species, and 73 community members empowered.

The commercial platform is differentiated by an open-access Company Registry that publishes per-sponsor plot coordinates, species distribution, growth rates, survival rates, carbon sequestration figures (e.g., 100.93 tCO2e for The Acre, 28.92 tCO2e for CATUR Coffee), and community keeper profiles. The company is B Corp certified as of June 30, 2025, and runs Sekolah Bumiterra, a non-profit climate education initiative committing at least 1% of annual profits to education infrastructure.
