The Indonesian Forum for Environment

WALHI (Wahana Lingkungan Hidup Indonesia, or The Indonesian Forum for Environment) is an Indonesian environmental non-governmental organization, which is part of the Friends of the Earth network.

It describes itself as "Indonesia's largest environmental NGO,"[1] and its scope is broader than just environmental concerns: "It stands for social transformation, peoples sovereignty, and sustainability of life and livelihoods."[2] The website also reports that WALHI volunteers assisted after the 2006 Yogyakarta earthquake in Yogyakarta.
