Siamang Forest Corridor
Why does this forest matter?
It supports wildlife and the ecosystem within the forest that is fragile from past deforestation and current climate changes. Reforestation is the primary focus of our work. Replanting indigenous trees that will mature into a sustainable food source for the wildlife and restore the canopy habitat they need to survive. Leo and I are in the process of having the 20 hectare forest that the Siamang “Black Gibbons’ primates inhabit, established as a protected ‘wildlife conservation’ forest. First audit completed in 2022.
How can you get involved?
Each time you choose to purchase products or services we produce or provide on Back Bay Estate, you are supporting this small business. As long as we sustain our business we can continue the reforestation efforts and protection of the wildlife habitat conservservation.
There are also at least 5 species of monkeys including Thomas Leaf; Macaque, short tail chocolate and long tail grays; the Lutung gray and orange. Numerous species of birds including birds of prey and the small hornbill. Numerous species of eco friendly insects, bees, moths and ground bugs that balance the soil and the protect flora. Not just within the forest, but for the surrounding agricultural farms as well.
THANK YOU!! From all of us, for visiting and supporting our ECO Tourism, for participating in Workshops held on site and for all our Climate Conscious friends across Indonesia, Australia, Japan and USA who purchase green and roasted beans that are grown, processed and roasted here on the property. You are our heros!
2026 ESTATE SALE
Due to circumstances beyond my control this estate must be sold. It is with a sad heart that the first parcel will be listed this year for sale. I am hopeful a buyer will emerge that will understand the decade of reforestation and rebuilding of the forest corridor habitat and what it means to the ecosystem and the new owner(s) will protect and preserve what now exists.
