Pilot Natural Capital Project
in Pulau Bintan
Location: Pulau Bintan, Indonesia
Pilot Scale: 100 ha
Ecosystem Type: Tropical Rainforest (Restoration)
Project Design Team: AECOM HK, SG
Project Outline
In 2024, AECOM was commissioned to establish a pilot project in Bintan Island, Indonesia. Inspired by the successful Natural Capital Laboratory in Scotland, this pilot project aims to localize a cutting-edge methodology for restoring forest while harnessing the power of digital tools and communicating ecological progress through key natural capital data. Furthermore, we will be utilizing the data to facilitate commercial partnerships and new market mechanisms to address the global nature emergency.
Project Stages
The pilot project entails a sustained commitment to the site, which presently holds development rights for 25 years.
Any extension of this initiative will be contingent upon the outcomes and momentum garnered during this pilot phase.

Stage 1
Pilot Design and Initial Implementation including a comprehensive baseline and projection report & a robust implementation strategy.

Stage 2
Full Habitat Improvement and Digital Monitoring Implementation Rollout (potential sub-stages dependent on project budgetary considerations).

Stage 3
Digital Monitoring, Habitat Management and Maintenance. All progress are synchronized in real-time to the project dashboard .
