PT Rimba Makmur Utama

PT. Rimba Makmur Utama is an endeavor to protect and restore a 157,875 hectares peat swamp forest in Katingan and Kotawaringin Timur districts in the province of Central Kalimantan. Through this project, we aim to reduce carbon emissions, protect biodiversity and create sustainable economic development opportunities that improve the lives of rural communities. The Katingan Mentaya Project has invested substantial resources into calculating the amount of carbon stored in the concession area and the amount of carbon it prevents to be released to the atmosphere, with a view to issuing carbon credits on the global market.
