This unique area is home to thousands of unusual animals and plants, including the critically <strong>endangered orang-utan<\/strong>. Moreover, peat swamp forests are important for the climate because they store an incredible amount of CO2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Parts of the peat swamp forest in Sebangau National Park have been destroyed by forest fires. The peat has also dried out due to illegal logging in the past. So, there is a danger that huge quantities of carbon will be released into the atmosphere. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, the habitat of numerous animals, trees and plants is getting smaller and smaller. That is why we <strong>conserve and restore <\/strong>this unique peat swamp forest together with Borneo Nature Foundation and local communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column

From burnt land to forest restoration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In 2015, a massive forest fire destroyed 18,000 hectares of Sebangau National Park: more than 36,000 football pitches! On burnt lands, only ferns and grasses grow, blocking natural forest recovery. In order to help nature get going again, we are <strong>planting a mix of native trees<\/strong>. They provide shade, so that the ferns and grasses will disappear and the forest can recover.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Storage of CO2<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Peat swamp forests are a special kind of forest. They are often submerged for long periods of time, creating a thick layer of peat. Over the centuries, this peat has sequestered huge stores of carbon. Does the forest disappear? Then huge amounts of CO2 are released into the air. A huge climate disaster, which we want to prevent by preserving and restoring the forest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Protecting endangered species of animal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sebangau National Park is also home to many (endangered) species of trees, plants and animals, such as proboscis monkeys, gibbons, hornbills, leopards and Borneo orang-utans. With forest restoration, we protect the habitat of these &#8211; and many other &#8211; unique plants and animals. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Photo-by-Pau-Brugues-Sintes_BNF_BTNS-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"borneo-orang-oetan-bnf-btns\" title=\"Photo by Pau Brugues Sintes_BNF_BTNS\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                            <figcaption>\n                                <em>\n                                    Foto: Pau Brugues Sintes \/ Borneo Nature Foundation \/ Balai Taman Nasional Sebangau, Ministry of Environment and Forestry of Indonesia\n                                <\/em>\n                            <\/figcaption>\n                                            <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Neushoornvogel-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"neushoornvogel-borneo\" title=\"Neushoornvogel\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Neusaap-Borneo-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Neusaap Borneo\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forest restoration together with locals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In recent years, we have planted 405,000 trees together with Borneo Nature Foundation and local villagers. Another 50,000 trees will be added by 2026! These are a mix of 16 different native tree species, which originally belong here. Among them are also \u201cfruit-bearing\u201d trees; an important food source for various animals. The plants will be planted on burnt peat soils to help natural forest recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Within this project, the local population plays a crucial role. For instance, they work in the tree nurseries, plant the trees and maintain the forest. The village nurseries are managed by local families, who receive special training and resources for this from Borneo Nature Foundation. So this project not only contribute to more trees, but also to extra work and income for village families!<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Photo-by-BNF_BTNS_Joan-Prahara-9-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"Kwekerij in Borneo\" title=\"Photo by BNF_BTNS_Joan Prahara (9)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/02\/Photo-by-BNF_BTNS_Joan-Prahara-3-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Photo by BNF_BTNS_Joan Prahara (3)\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/06\/200628_Nursery-Forest-Smootie_Yohanes-Prahara_BNF_IMG_9028_IMG_9148-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"200628_Nursery Forest Smootie_Yohanes Prahara_BNF_IMG_9028_IMG_9148\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/Planting-January-2016-low-quality-14-Sabangau-Pau-Brugues-Sintes-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Planting January 2016 low quality-14-Sabangau-Pau Brugues Sintes\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Families are closely involved in the project, helping in the nursery and with planting, among other things.

This way, we reduce the risk of new forest fires. Moreover, wet soil is crucial for a peat swamp forest, to ensure that the peat soil can sequester and retain carbon.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12 col-md-10 col-lg-8\">    <section class=\"wp-acf-block block-slider \">\n\n        <div class=\"slider\">\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/200615_Dam-Building-Haji-Ijas_BNF_Yohanes_IMG_8091-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"200615_Dam Building Haji Ijas_BNF_Yohanes_IMG_8091\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2022\/09\/200615_Dam-Building_Sebangau_IMG_8127-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"200615_Dam Building_Sebangau_IMG_8127\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Locals build dams to hold water in the area.
