This year, our One MIllion Trees program is awarded as the iF Social Impact Prize Winner.
Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) supports local communities in Kalimantan, Indonesian Borneo to develop sustainable livelihoods, by empowering people to grow, plant and protect 1 million trees by 2025.
Native seedlings are grown in village nurseries for planting in degraded tropical rainforests. These forests are major global carbon stores, provide economic and social benefits for local communities, and are a stronghold for biodiversity, including the Critically Endangered Bornean orangutan.
500 long-term green jobs are being created for local people and simultaneously, 2,500 hectares of burnt peat forest are being restored.
