# Career Opportunity: Join the Ministry of Forestry's Wildlife Ecotourism Project
Stepping into a role that actively shapes the future of Indonesia’s biodiversity is a rare and rewarding professional journey. The Ministry of Forestry, through the Directorate General of Natural Resources and Ecosystem Conservation (KSDAE), has officially announced open recruitment for dedicated professionals to join the Project Management Unit (PMU) and Project Implementation Unit (PIU).
This nationwide initiative operates under the umbrella of the “Enhancing Co-Benefits of Conservation Area Management through an Inclusive Wildlife-based Ecotourism Strategy” (WILDLIFE ECOTOURISM) project. Funded generously by the Global Biodiversity Framework Fund (GBFF), this ambitious endeavor aims to elevate biodiversity conservation and strengthen ecosystem resilience across Indonesia’s most vital protected zones.
