These rare forests are critically endangered through deforestation for palm oil plantations and illegal gold mining. But in the village of Petuk Barunai, the residents want to show there\u2019s an alternative. How? By working on restoring and protecting forests!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Trees for All is supporting the villagers in this endeavour by planting <strong>20,000 trees<\/strong> in their own community forest, which covers around 400 hectares. The forest is restored, managed and protected by the community itself. Together, we\u2019re planting a mix of native tree species (which are endemic to heath forests) and trees and fruit trees that provide food and income. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This means that while people will soon be able to live off the forest in <strong>a sustainable way<\/strong>, the native forest will remain intact as far as possible.Thanks to your support, we can help the community get started and restore the forest of Petuk Barunai step by step. What\u2019s more, we can set an example for other villages in the region as well! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Will you help us plant?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow

Another problem is illegal gold mining. Around the village of Petuk Barunai \u2013 with a population of over 600 \u2013 many forests have already been lost for these reasons. What remains are scorched tracts of land where only ferns thrive, which hinder natural forest regeneration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So the residents of Petuk Barunai want to work on <strong>restoring and protecting the forests<\/strong>. With the help of our project partner Borneo Nature Foundation, they\u2019ve set up a community forest to prevent the development of a new palm oil plantation on that spot. Their aim is to restore and protect the native forest there, as well as to ensure they can live from the forest in an environmentally-friendly way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lack of budget poses a considerable challenge to that aim. But your donation will enable us to help the community get started, along with our partner Borneo Nature Foundation!<\/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\/2025\/07\/Verbrand-bos-dat-hersteld-wordt-door-BNF-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Verbrand bos dat hersteld wordt door BNF\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/07\/DJI_20241002145539_0074_V-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"DJI_20241002145539_0074_V\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/section>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><em><em>Scorched tracts of heath forest, where the only thing to thrive are ferns that hinder natural forest regeneration.<\/em><\/em><\/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\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Forest restoration and protection: how it works<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Along with Borneo Nature Foundation and the community, we\u2019ll be planting <strong>20,000 trees<\/strong> on around 23 hectares of land:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Some of these are <strong>native trees <\/strong>that are endemic to heath forests, such as the rare Shorea hemsleyana. The villagers will plant them in the scorched parts of their community forest, which are now overgrown mainly by ferns. Planting trees provides shade, so that the ferns gradually disappear, making way for natural regeneration: the process by which native species of tree start to regrow spontaneously.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>We\u2019re also <strong>introducing agroforestry<\/strong>, whereby fruit and nut trees are planted. Examples include Durian, Rambutan and Cashew, which provide products like fruit and nuts. Before long, the villagers will be able to harvest various forest products and sell them at the local market, while the native forest remains intact as far as possible. A sustainable alternative to palm oil plantations and illegal gold mining!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet another advantage of forest restoration is that nature benefits as well. After all, more forests means more habitats for endangered animals on Borneo, like the Bornean orang-utan, the gibbon, the Malayan bear, the clouded leopard and the Borneo bay cat.<\/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\/2025\/04\/Leden-van-de-lokale-community-en-Borneo-Nature-Foundation-door-BNF-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Leden van de lokale community en Borneo Nature Foundation door BNF\" class=\"tns-lazy\" \/>\n                                                                    <\/figure>\n                <\/div>\n                            <div class=\"slide\">\n                    <figure>\n                                                    <img data-src=\"https:\/\/treesforall.nl\/app\/uploads\/2025\/04\/Zaailing-door-BNF-scaled-1440x0-c-default.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"Zaailing door BNF\" 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\">From tree nursery to forest protection<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The villagers receive support not only in planting trees, but also in <strong>maintaining and protecting<\/strong> the forest and in preventing fires.
