Rainforest protection
In the Jantho Nature Reserve in the Indonesian province of Aceh, we operate patrols as part of a comprehensive conservation programme to protect the habitat of the orangutans we have released into the wild. The Jantho rangers in these patrols are young people from the surrounding villages who want to help to preserve this precious ecosystem. One of them is Wen Rizky Rianda.
