About GBF

Communities that are aware, engaged, and empowered to protect the sea.

GBF advances Blue Economy principles through environmental action, education, community empowerment, and cross-sector collaboration — while developing innovations toward a sustainable Smart Island ecosystem, in line with the SDGs.

Our Vision

Driving smart actions to realize the “Smart Island”, transforming Indonesia’s oceans into a model of innovation and sustainability.

Our Mission

Fostering sustainable actions in Blue Carbon management and advancing a community-driven Blue Economy.

Our Story

From friendships across the islands, to a platform for moving together.

GBF was founded by five Gen Z friends who met through community service and volunteering on several islands. From that shared spirit, we built a platform that brings more people together for environmental work.

In August 2024, GBF began taking shape, seeing the potential and challenges of Lampung’s coastal ecosystem. Our first step was with the community at Cukunyinyi Mangrove, Sidodadi — and we keep growing with volunteers, communities, partners, and institutions.
