On Borneo, Trees for All is working on the restoration of peat swamp forests<\/a> in Sebangau National Park. Also thanks to your support we have planted more than 400,000 trees, together with local communities and Borneo Nature Foundation. Thank you very much! This restoration is an important step in a wider approach to preventing a climate catastrophe on Borneo.<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In short: why restoring peat swamp forest is so important<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Peat swamp forests are special tropical forests which store enormous quantities of CO2<\/strong> in the soil. Therefore, they play a crucial part in mitigate climate change. Unfortunately, the forest in Sebangau National Park is under pressure. Sections have been destroyed by wildfire and the area is drying out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is frightening, because the peat soil makes sure CO2 remains in storage. If the soil dries out or the forest disappears, CO2 escapes, resulting in gigantic climate catastrophe<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Together with the Borneo local team we deploy everything to prevent this: by restoring the forest, keeping the soil humid and protecting the forest better.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
