Save the Leuser Ecosystem
Support for Polyculture and Agroforestry
We encourage and support local communities to re-diversify their farms and forests by providing fruit trees and other useful plants and seeds. This helps to increase family food self-sufficiency, diversify their income sources and benefit the environment.

Helping to conserve primary tropical forests
We help conserve primary tropical forests in the Leuser Mountains National Park, which is a sanctuary for the world's unique and critically endangered biodiversity, such as the iconic orangutan. In collaboration with local institutions (schools, rangers, local NGOs), we carry out various awareness-raising, education and reforestation activities with the community.

Valorization of ancestral medicines and production of medicinal plants
We support the preservation and application of traditional knowledge about the healing properties of plants, while promoting their sustainable cultivation and integration into contemporary health practices. This approach supports biodiversity, provides income for local communities and contributes to overall health.

The precious Leuser ecosystem needs your help!
Your give will support our team to protect and restore the Leuser ecosystem, last place on earth where orangutans, rhinos, elephants and tigers co-exist in the wild. All four species are now critically endangered but together we can turn this around.
