About this Project
Background
The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia, faces threats from planned deforestation for palm oil estates. This endangers the richly biodiverse tropical peat swamp forests and the habitat of species like the Bornean orangutan.
Project Outcome
The project protects 91,215 hectares of tropical peat swamp forests, preventing over 47,000 hectares of forest conversion for palm oil production. It involves local rangers and satellite monitoring. The initiative supports local communities through job creation, environmental education, women's capacity building, and economic development activities. It also focuses on carbon sequestration and habitat protection.
