The document discusses building an ecosystem services program in the Leuser Ecosystem in Indonesia. It notes that the Leuser Conservation Forum has grown to 400 staff over 10 years but does not receive continuous funding. The Rimba Collective could provide long-term funding by treating environmental outcomes as assets. However, it is difficult for the Forum to build programs that meet the Collective's requirements. Instead, a business partner could build the program, operate it for a set period, and transfer environmental outcomes to the Collective, bridging the gap between the Forum's work and the Collective's needs.

- 7. The Challenge Tin 10 years, the Leuser Conservation Forum grew to a respected, locally embedded, organization of 400 staff. Notwithstanding its track record, the organization does not receive a continuous stream of funding for its operations. The Rimba Collective opens the possibility to provide much-deserved long-term funding whereby Environmental Service Outcomes are treated as assets. For FKL as for most organizations of this type it is not easy to build and operate programs in such a way that they comply with the requirements of the founders of the Rimba Collective. Rather than developing the required competences, it wishes to focus on what its good at. 1 2
