The news our planet needs, told with honesty.
Independent journalism on green living, renewable energy, environmental policy, conscious consumption, and conservation — for the generation that wants to do something about it.
Hijau ID is an independent media dedicated to the stories that matter for Indonesia's environmental future — told with rigour, honesty, and the belief that knowing the truth is the first step toward changing it.
We cover the full spectrum: from rooftop solar in Surabaya to coral reef conservation in Raja Ampat, from zero-waste kitchens to national recycling policy. Our journalism is grounded, solution-focused, and made for readers who want to understand — and act.
No corporate agenda, no greenwashing. Our reporting follows the evidence and serves the reader — not the advertiser.
We report on problems — but we always look for what's working. Every story carries the seeds of what's possible.
Global issues, Indonesian lens. We cover what matters to this archipelago — from Sabang to Merauke, coast to coast.
Waste, water, land, and energy — we examine the systems, not just the symptoms, and look for where the loops can close.
A preview of the kind of journalism Hijau ID will bring — grounded, honest, and genuinely useful for the reader who wants to understand Indonesia's environmental landscape.
From Surabaya to Makassar, homeowners and businesses are installing solar panels at a rate never seen before. We examine what's driving the shift, what the grid still can't handle, and why the real story is more complicated — and more hopeful — than the headlines suggest.
From pocket forests in Jakarta to mangrove corridors in Semarang — a look at the green infrastructure movement reshaping Indonesian urban life and what it means for air quality, mental health, and flood resilience.
Waste & CircularIndonesia produces some of the world's most plastic waste — but it also has some of the world's most innovative grassroots responses. We visit the banks, the exchanges, and the people turning trash into a livelihood.
Ocean & WaterThe Coral Triangle holds 76% of the world's coral species. It is also under severe threat. We meet the fishing communities in Maluku and Papua who have built local marine protected areas — and are fighting to keep them.
ClimateIndonesia has made bold climate promises. But the gap between the target and the policy is wide, and the coal sector is still very much alive. An honest accounting of where the country stands, and what would have to change.
Sustainable FoodIn Java and Bali, a new generation of farmers is blending traditional subak systems with modern agroforestry — producing food without exhausting the land. What the rest of the world could learn from them.
ConservationSumatra's remaining lowland forest connects isolated populations of tigers, orangutans, and elephants. It is shrinking. We follow the rangers, scientists, and indigenous communities working to protect what's left.
Hijau ID is in the making — researching, writing, and building the platform that will bring honest environmental journalism to Indonesian readers. Subscribe to be among the first to read when we go live.
