Every tree you plant is a lifeline for endangered orangutans in Indonesia's Gunung Palung National Park. This lush, sprawling rainforest is one of the last refuges for these incredible creatures, whose population has been halved in just 16 years due to illegal logging and habitat destruction.
But here's the good news: By contributing to the reforestation of 150 hectares of this essential ecosystem, you're giving the park's 3,000 resident orangutans—and our planet—a fighting chance. Your support also empowers local communities. When local initiative Health In Harmony started their conservation mission, they found that residents mainly needed affordable healthcare and sustainable farming techniques to move away from logging.
The result? A staggering 90% decrease in logging households and a 67% drop in infant mortality. And it’s not just the humans and orangutans who benefit; the whole planet does. Rainforests are vital in absorbing greenhouse gases, making your contribution a win-win-win for local communities, endangered species, and the global climate. Camera traps at a nearby reforestation site captured images of orangutans only five years after the first trees were planted.
What a testament to the power of collective action! Let's keep this incredible momentum going. 🌱🤝
