COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
Of the 255 islands in the Anambas cluster, only 26 are inhabited with an approximate population of 45,500.
For generations, the people of the Anambas Islands have lived in close connection with the sea, relying on its resources for their livelihoods, culture, and well-being. Yet, small-island challenges such as limited waste management, economic vulnerability, and climate change continue to place increasing pressure on both communities and the marine environment.
Through its Community Development programs, the Anambas Foundation works to strengthen the social foundations of conservation by empowering communities with the knowledge, skills, and opportunities needed to build a more sustainable future. From environmental education and sustainable waste management to youth development, women's empowerment, and alternative livelihoods, these initiatives help foster resilient communities that actively participate in protecting the natural heritage of the Anambas Islands.
