The Heartland Project : A Reforestation Effort By Youth Act Kalimantan

All the life possible on earth is somehow related to the existence of trees. From the water we drink, the medicines we take to the shelter we have come under.

According to scientists, it will take at least hundreds to thousands of years to restore the condition of forests damaged by deforestation. But with human help, this time would be reduced to at least 25 years.
