Ecologi x Ecoriginals: Protecting Indonesian Peatland Ecosystems
At Ecoriginals, we're proud to support the Katingan Restoration and Conservation Project in Indonesia, focused on preserving and restoring peatland ecosystems. Peatlands store massive amounts of carbon and play a crucial role in fighting climate change.
Why does it matter?
- Peatlands store up to 20 times more carbon than trees and vegetation combined.
- Indonesia holds 36% of the world's tropical peatlands, threatened by deforestation.
- The project aims to protect 149,800 hectares of peatland, preserving carbon stocks and biodiversity.
How we're making a difference:
- Satellite monitoring and fire management techniques protect forests from degradation.
- Trained community firefighters prevent fires with drone and satellite support.
- Peatland rewetting activities restore degraded areas and protect endangered species.
Our impact:
- Mitigating climate change by safeguarding carbon storage.
- Preserving biodiversity and protecting endangered species.
- Improving the well-being of local communities through various initiatives.
Together with Ecologi, we're protecting peatland ecosystems and combating climate change. Choose Ecoriginals and help us build a greener future.
