It almost sounds made up -- a natural fantasy land where tigers, elephants, and orangutans co-exist in the wild. But our local partners have reached out with an urgent problem -- large-scale plantation owners are entering critically-sensitive protected areas and chopping down trees to plant more crops. If they can't put a stop to it, the whole ecosystem is under threat. They have a solution: buy the farm land adjacent to existing protected areas. It's a double win -- expand the protected area, and remove its biggest threat in one fell swoop. These intrusions on the Leuser are happening right now -- if 5000 of us quickly chip in the cost of a cup of coffee or more, our partners can immediately get to work securing the land...and protecting it forever. Can you help save this irreplaceable part of our planet? [Donate $3]( another amount]( Our community has done so much work over the years to protect orangutans from palm oil pillaging, and this has been a huge part of it -- actually helping to buy the land and pay for patrols to stop deforestation and poaching. That happens through our local partner, Forum Konservasi Leuser. After securing the land, FKL educates local communities in sustainable resource use and recruits community members for jobs to protect the forest. We already helped them double their protected area, and now we can help them do even more as they expand 8x larger, piece by piece! And {NAME}, this area critically needs protection. It isn’t just wildlife. The Leuser Ecosystem has a crucial role in fighting climate change, storing massive amounts of carbon (the area we could buy stores almost 350,000 metric tons!). When these areas are hacked and set on fire instead of protected, thousands of years of stored carbon are released. In bad fire years, it’s been estimated as comparable to the fossil fuel emissions of all of Western Europe! This is an incredibly rare opportunity to work with others around the world to buy a piece of a critically endangered ecosystem and know you’ve helped protect it. Will you be one of the 5000 donors we need to buy their next tract of land quickly? The more we raise, the more they can buy right away – and every extra penny will be used to defend wild places like this from corporations bent on their destruction.
