The PASEBAN Foundation’s roots trace back to 2009, when Arista Montana Organic Farm was established in Mega Mendung, West Java. Initially focused on non-invasive organic farming, the farm played a key role in landscape restoration and sustainable agriculture. Over the years, it expanded its efforts to include reforestation, biodiversity conservation, and the establishment of an in-situ aviary, which successfully bred and rehabilitated endangered bird species. These early initiatives laid the foundation for PASEBAN’s broader mission of environmental stewardship and community engagement.
