THANK YOU
A huge thank you to everyone who responded so quickly and generously to our appeal on behalf of our partners, CIMTROP (Centre for International Cooperation in the Management of Tropical Peatland), working in the Sebangau Forests. Your donations have been directed to CIMTROP, who worked around the clock to tackle the raging fires.
We also spoke of the threat of fires within Tanjung Puting National Park and Lamandau River Wildlife Reserve but are happy to announce that heavy rain at the beginning of October reduced the threats to both of our project areas.
In September and October the fires in Sebangau continued to rage and Orangutan Foundation sent more than £8,000 to CIMTROP (Centre for International Co-operation in Management of Tropical Peatland) to support their ongoing efforts.
The latest information about the situation in Sebangau can be read on our wildlife direct blog.
Dr Suwido Limin, Director of CIMTROP said “On behalf of CIMTROP and (whole of) members of the TSA KALTENG (fire-fighting team), I’m very grateful for the infinite care and support from various parties who have helped us financially. Forest and land is ours and for the life of our generations in the future.”
