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.
