 This conservation scheme was designed to benefit those local communities which neighbour Indonesian forestry and to help the most endangered species living in these threatened habitats.Prior to 2015, it was named Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation ("Direktorat Jenderal Perlindungan Hutan dan Konservasi Alam - PHKA").Its current name was taken into effect due to the merger of Ministry of Environment and Ministry of Forestry in 2014.
