Science for Change
Borneo Futures Sdn Bhd is a nature tech company based in Brunei Darussalam. Established in 2015, we engage with projects focused on innovative science that informs the practices and policies of environmental management in tropical forest areas.
Technology for Biodiversity Management
Our work uses community-based biodiversity monitoring and citizen science to collect real-time species population data that inform the practices and policies of wildlife conservation management in tropical forest areas.
KehatiKu: Community-led biodiversity monitoring
KehatiKu is a community-led biodiversity monitoring programme that is redefining how conservation is done in tropical landscapes. By combining Indigenous ecological knowledge, community-based monitoring, and performance-based incentives, KehatiKu generates verified wildlife data while supporting local livelihoods and strengthening relationships between communities and conservation.
Since launching in West Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo, the programme has mobilised around 800 local observers across nine villages and generated more than 300,000 wildlife observations, including critically endangered species, such as the Bornean Orangutan and Abbott’s Gibbon, creating one of the world’s most powerful community-driven biodiversity datasets.
Brunei-based, Globally-engaged
Through community engagement and evidence-based insights, we work to create a future where nature and people thrive together.
