The study was undertaken by UNORCID with funding support from the United Nations Environment Protection Programme (UNEP).

Our CEO and the study leader for the FEVS - Indonesia - Pavan Sukhdev, explained the need for conservation of forests and protection of livelihoods of those people who are directly linked to these forests in his presentation during the launch.
He also highlighted the importance of this study report and its role in supporting Indonesia's transition towards a Green economy.

In the lead up to COP21 in Paris, the need to integrate our planet's ecosystem services and attract investment by greening our GDP is crucial.
UNORCID-Indonesia Forest Ecosystem Valuation Study (FEVS) looks at how Indonesian forests provide measurable services by contributing significantly to the GDP. The report highlights how green investment into forests will not only have positive returns for investors but also alleviate poverty in forest dependent rural communities.
