Four landscapes

Homes still in contention

Tesso Nilo, Kampar kenegerian, Siabu protection forest, and coastal peat tell the same pressure story: concessions, farms, and customary claims on one map.

Place Story

Tesso Nilo National Park

A cinematic flight over Tesso Nilo: what remains, what's been lost, and who still lives there. Data and sources, woven into one story.

Siabu Protection Forest

A Kampar protected forest that entered Green Policing reporting: the map overlay is context, not a verdict.

Kampar kenegerian

Imbo Putui and other Kampar customary forests: decrees exist; official polygons are not always open.

Green Policing

Collaboration to fortify custom as nature’s shield.

Kampar kenegerian, Talang Mamak, Sakai, coastal peat, and Tesso Nilo share one shrinking landscape. We compile satellite data and public registries into a Riau map anyone can check, so people can see, not accuse.

Polda Riau activities

Polda Riau activities

United to Guard Bumi Lancang Kuning

A joint effort of the Riau Malay Customary Institution (LAMR), the land agency (BPN), Polda Riau, and environmental observers. Three programs and three collaboration principles: protect forests, prevent land-and-forest fires, and tidy customary land legality.

This describes a collaboration program. It is not an official Polri portal or a case channel. Green Policing remains a data observatory; right of reply is through /lapor.

A strong legal footing

The program materials cite Government Regulation 22/2021 on forest-area arrangement and ATR Regulation 18/2019 on customary land.

Custom first

LAMR hosts: Malay custom opens and closes every joint activity.

Oriented to real results

The focus is concrete output: territory maps, land certificates, and policy declarations.

Lancang Kuning

The full picture: three principle sails, three program decks, and the roles of LAMR, BPN, and Polda Riau.

Customary land and environment field school

One-day village sessions on customary law, land certification, fraud patterns, and fire prevention.

Output: land-rights literacy and jelutung planting practice

Integrated customary community patrol

Regular watches at vulnerable points for illegal logging, illegal mining, fires, sacred sites, and strategic-project land.

Output: monthly reports and hotspot handling

Customary law and environment festival

A cultural campaign and peace declaration to guard Riau’s nature.

Output: peace declaration and customary maps

LAMR

Guide to sacred territory and teacher of customary law.

BPN Riau

Certificate validity checks and land registration.

Polda Riau

Patrol command, law enforcement, and education on land-fraud patterns.

Environmental observers

Record damage and monitor hotspots.

Three tenets

Philosophy

We protect nature, then nature protects us

We protect nature, then nature protects us

People and forest live in one cycle: caring for living space is caring for ourselves. Green Policing stands inside that loop, not outside it.

Customary law as the frontline fortress

Customary law as the frontline fortress

Customary sanctions and local wisdom stop forest-fire and exploitation threats. The system binds, prevents, and restores — so the ecosystem stays under Indigenous authority.

Mapping living space and identity

Mapping living space and identity

The customary-map exhibition brings spatial evidence into public view: historical claims become geospatial data that affirms community-managed boundaries, free of fire hotspots.

Open data, not accusations

We show official data and satellite imagery side by side, so you can read and compare them yourself.

Every claim is clickable

Anything on screen traces back to its source dataset in at most two clicks.

Reproducible

Our pipeline is open: anyone can re-run it and get the same numbers.

It starts with seeing

Awareness begins with clear information. Open the map, explore your region, and share what you find.
