Natura Consulting has an ongoing commitment with Yayasan Pulau Banyak, a local Indonesian non-Government organisation (NGO), in the Aceh region of Indonesia, in developing and implementing various programs such as:

• Forest community and condition mapping to assist with the development and implementation of forest conservation planning, management, education and monitoring programs.
• Coral reef and sea grass community and condition mapping to assist with the development and implementation of coral reef habitat management and monitoring for local sea turtle conservation strategies.
• Environmental Management Plan incorporating management of Ecotourism, Fisheries, Conservation Areas and Restoration Areas for implementation by local Government authorities.
• Waste Management Plan to assist with further development of environmental protection, social education and enhanced quality of ecotourism within the island group.
