- Sintang holds 1.3% of Indonesia’s forests, including the biodiverse Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park.
- Forest areas (protected & production) cover 59% of Sintang’s area; but the district has one of the highest rates of degradation, deforestation, & fires in West Kalimantan
- District economy is dominated by land & natural resource-based sectors, especially agriculture, increasing the chances of forest loss & degradation
- Sintang’s commitment to be a Sustainable District strengthened via Sustainable Palm Oil Regional Action Plan (RAD-KSB) & Sintang Lestari Regional Action Plan (RAD-SL)
- Multiple multi-stakeholder fora (e.g., SekBer, FOKSBI) in the district bring together stakeholders to carry out sustainability initiatives
