Endangered species like the Orangutan are under constant threat due to habitat loss and other human-induced factors. Recognizing this crisis, Tanjung Puting National Park in Central Borneo has stepped up. Established as a dedicated sanctuary, this park is actively involved in both the protection of these creatures and the restoration of their natural environment, showcasing a concrete response to a pressing global issue.
Seeds of Dedication
In the heart of Pesalat forest, the Friends of National Parks Foundation shows its unwavering commitment to conservation. They are dedicated to:
- Rebuilding Native Forest Habitat: Their goal is to restore the indigenous environment at Tanjung Puting National Park.
- Protecting Orangutans: With every tree planted, they create a secure space for Orangutans, safeguarding them from life-threatening dangers posed by farmers, palm oil plantation staff, and illegal loggers.
- Plant Diversity: In 2020, the foundation planted a range of saplings, including Meranti Putih, Kayu Ulin, Durian, Nyatoh, Butun/keben, and other native species, totaling up to 1460 trees.
- Monitoring Wildlife: Through periodic surveys, the foundation keeps tabs on the Orangutan population. Their efforts have potentially assisted over 150 orangutans.
