Indonesian Rainforests

Forests of Indonesia are the third largest tropical rainforests in the world and one of the greatest biodiversity hotspots on Earth. Indonesia is home to 10% to 15% of all known plants, mammals and birds on the planet. From the iconic orangutans and Sumatran tigers to the incredible birds of paradise, many rare species, threatened with extinction, can only be found in Indonesia’s forests. These forests also store nearly 300 billion tonnes of carbon, which is roughly 40 times the annual greenhouse gas emissions from fossil fuels. We need forests to help regulate the Earth's climate and avoid the worst impacts of the climate crisis.
