Region: Tana Toraja Regency, South Sulawesi, Indonesia 

The Rantekarua Estate, located in the Tana Toraja Regency, on the island of Sulawesi, remained mostly abandoned until the government gave cultivation rights to PT Sulotco Jaya Abadi in 1987. Since that time the 3000-acre estate has undergone substantial renovation and become a beacon of innovation particularly in matters of land conservation. More than 500 acres have been converted into natural forest and coffee cultivation is managed with organic inputs. Manure from more than 2000 sheep grazing on the estate is used as a major source of organic fertilizer.

The Torajan people are known for their interesting architecture and elaborate funeral rituals.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EuN5W6_jQK8
