The rain forest is habitat to dozens of animal species that occur nowhere else in the world. Unfortunately, some 80% of their habitat has been deforested at a great pace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What remains are grasslands where only persistent grass grows. This makes it impossible for trees to grow, endangering the habitat of all animals. We are going to make a difference here!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This project amounts to the planting of 160,000 trees in order to restore tropical rain forest in Northern Sulawesi. We will do this in co-operation with the Masarang Foundation. The project will also provide work and income for surrounding communities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\"

No less than 62% of mammals living here are endemic species, meaning that they occur in only one place in the world, like the spectral tarsier and the crested macaque.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But because of logging and converting forest to agriculture and plantation, many of these endemic species are on the brink of extinction.<strong> <\/strong>In places where magnificent rain forest used to grow, now only grass land remains, harboring nothing but alang-alang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alang-alang, also known as cogon grass, forms a close-woven carpet and leaves no room for trees to germinate and grow. In turn this grass land is highly combustible, making it a vicious circle of degradation. So, in order to restore Sulawesi\u2019s unique ecosystem, it is highly necessary to protect existing forests and regenerate degraded areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:0px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\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<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">    <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\/2024\/07\/20240616_090-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"bomen-planten-sulawesi\" title=\"20240616_090\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20240616_049-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"20240616_049\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20240616_063-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"20240616_063\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em>Van links naar rechts: mensen uit de regio helpen bij de aanplant van de bomen (foto 1), in de kwekerij (foto 2) en bij het verwijderen van het alang-alang-gras zodat de bomen de grond in kunnen (foto 3). <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper  has-white-background-color\"><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\">What are we going to do in Sulawesi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In Temboan project area we are going to convert 50 hectares of alang-alang grassland into tropical rain forest. We will realize this by planting 160,000 trees of many different species for a varied forest. The Masarang Foundation has developed a successful method of planting. Within a time-span of three years (2023-2025) we will plant trees in two phases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>First, 10 to 15 pioneer type trees will be planted to push back the rank grass. Next, we will plant 150 different native species of trees in order to restore the original forest. Some of these are included in the Red List of Endangered Species (UCN). We will also include trees which will render extra income for the local population, such as fruit trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\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<div class=\"wp-block-columns are-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:100%\">    <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\/05\/20240616_019-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"monitoring-sulawesi\" title=\"20240616_019\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20240616_016-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"monitoring-sulawesi\" title=\"20240616_016\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20240616_017-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"monitoring-sulawesi\" title=\"20240616_017\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20240616_018-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"monitor\" title=\"20240616_018\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2023\/05\/20240616_096-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"bosherstel-sulawesi\" title=\"20240616_096\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-g2p-wrapper  has-primary-background-color\"><div class=\"container\"><div class=\"row justify-content-center\"><div class=\"col-12\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-9d6595d7 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:55%\">\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-white-color has-text-color\">Broad impact: from land to see<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-white-color has-text-color\">Sulawesi forest restoration will create a positive impact on the whole ecosystem.

Thus the drainage of (polluted) water is reduced and the coastal coral reef is enabled to regenerate.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prevention of bush fires by reduction of combustible grass and active supervision by patrol teams.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\" style=\"flex-basis:45%\">    <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\/Temboan-Sulawesi.jpg\" alt=\"sulawesi-temboan-beach\" title=\"Temboan Sulawesi\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/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\">Our partners<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/masarang.eu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Masarang Foundation<\/a> was established in 2001 by Willie Smits, an Indonesian biologist, forester and conservationist of Dutch descent.
