The Environmental Bamboo Foundation (EBF) is working with SEAD (Stewards of Environmentally Aware Developments) Plant to create the first bamboo village in the country.

EBF is an Indonesian non-profit organisation founded in 1993 to establish bamboo as a viable substitute for timber as a building material globally to prevent tropical deforestation and boost the income of rural communities while promoting gender and social inclusion.
