Yayasan Tanah Air Beta is promoting the use of a landscape approach in the Manusela landscape (Central Seram) and Buano seascape (West Seram). This is a long-term effort to engage local and provincial governments and populations island-wide to mainstream conservation of key biodiversity areas into development planning. The work involves the first comprehensive collection of conservation data and the development of Vensim / Stella models for decision-makers to better understand alternative growth scenarios.
