In regions of West Kalimantan on the frontlines of deforestation and exploitive development, VIVIDKalimantan uses natural capital to conserve natural oxygen producers (rainforests) and to improve the quality of life of the local population, by backing investments in ECOTECH urbanism, in order to develop a flourishing Smart Region which will be a working example of how education, culture, ecology, entrepreneurship, and technology can be implemented from the ground up.
Natural capital is the financial value placed on the intrinsic value of natural resources.
VIVIDKalimantan has placed the baseline value of 25 years of oxygen and clean air production at US$10 per are of Borneo rainforest.
Quality of life is measured by the equality of access to a wide variety of opportunities and choices.
ECOTECH urbanism, a multi-faceted integrated approach to development, addresses 5 main areas of activity:
- Natural Capital
- CCM-Culture Contact Management
- Education
- Entrepreneurship
- EcoTech (includes Green Energy, Sustainable Solutions and Blockchain)
