Overview
Indonesia is made up of over 17,000 islands, including Borneo and Sumatra, the third and sixth largest islands in the world. Extensive mangroves, carbon-rich peat swamps and the third largest reserves of rainforests left on Earth are all found across this sprawling archipelago. Recognized globally for its exceptional biodiversity, many rare and unique wildlife such as Sumatran tigers, elephants, orang-utans and over 1,700 species of birds are found here. Your donation will help to restore ecosystems in this biodiversity hotspot that has experienced profound degradation caused by rampant deforestation for palm oil plantations, damaging peat fires, and extensive logging
In 2015, rampant fires burnt and destroyed more than 30,000 hectares of its forest. Your tree/s will help to restore areas affected by these fires, as well as those threatened by the palm oil industry and illegal mining operations.
Our partners tree planters in Indonesia work to ensure balance is restored both environmentally and economically with the growth of new trees.
In addition to planting trees, this project helps to educate local villages about the importance of conservation, create jobs for those in the area, and provide long-term income for the community.
To reach this area requires a four-hour boat ride through areas inhabited by orangutans, hornbills, proboscis monkeys, crocodiles, and many more unique flora and fauna.
Planting season
In Indonesia this occurs from September through to November. Planting during or just before wet & mild weather encourages strong tree root growth.
Native species
Popular plant species found in Indonesia include: Mentaw, Papung, Ubar, Halaban, Nyatoh, Jinjit, Betapal and Sundi. Your tree will be one of these.
Make it stand out
Efforts are focused on mobilizing support from a coalition of local and international partners to develop nurseries and plant thousands of native trees. Your support will help us make a difference on a number of exciting projects. By planting trees in Indonesia, you’re helping to create vital habitat for orang-utans and endangered wildlife
