Why is this an Emergency? 🔥
The lush, ancient rainforests of Borneo have long been under threat from deforestation, with fires a recurring nightmare for the region.
While fires have been set every year, the combination of El Nino and droughts from the climate crisis have created an unexpected situation. The fires have spread more rapidly and extensively than ever before, wreaking Borneo's invaluable biodiversity and endangering the Indigenous communities who call this rainforest home. It's no longer just a local issue; it's a global emergency with far-reaching consequences for our planet.
In the heart of the devastating haze crisis in Borneo, the Ranu Welum Foundation is leading a groundbreaking initiative to empower Indigenous Dayak youth to become the frontline heroes our forests desperately need. These warriors are ready to step up as firefighters, but they urgently require your support to equip them with the essential gear they need to battle the blazes and save Borneo's precious rainforest.
🌿 Why is this Mission so Crucial?
Borneo's rainforest is one of the most biodiverse places on Earth, home to countless endangered species and vital to our planet's health. The devastating fires threaten its very existence, and we must act now to preserve this important ecosystem for generations to come.
The Ranu Welum Foundation recognizes the immense potential of Indigenous Dayak youth as the guardians of their ancestral lands. Your donation directly supports the local Dayak communities who are on the front lines of the fire crisis.
