Summary

Extreme flooding and landslides have devastated communities across Sumatra. Years of deforestation have left the land exposed, making disasters more frequent and more severe. Without urgent action, these crises will continue to escalate. Your support will help restore vital rainforest, stabilise riverbanks, and strengthen community resilience-protecting families and rebuilding Sumatra's natural defences for the future.

Challenge

Extreme flooding and landslides are devastating communities in Sumatra. The root cause is largely deforestation, which leaves the land exposed and unable to absorb heavy rainfall. Without intervention, these disasters are likely to continue and worsen.

Solution

The project aims to protect and restore the rainforest, rebuild riverbanks, and strengthen the land's natural resilience. By replanting trees and repairing riverbanks, the soil can better absorb water, reducing the risk of floods and landslides. This approach addresses both the environmental damage and the safety of local communities.

Long-Term Impact

Reduced frequency and severity of floods and landslides. Restoration of biodiversity and healthier ecosystems. Increased community resilience and safer living conditions. Sustainable management of natural resources, ensuring the environment can better withstand future climate events.
