vine, a bright green leaf poking from its mouth as it curiously gazes
ahead. The blurred, verdant foliage behind it hints at the lush rainforest
habitat in which it lives.

John,

We’ve told you about this fairy tale before: a place on Earth where
tigers, elephants, rhinos and orangutans coexist in the wild. We’ve twice
worked with local partners to buy pieces of this forest home and protect
them…forever.

But we just heard from our partners that four of their grants have been
frozen, leaving them scrambling to replace literally hundreds of thousands
of dollars of funding to keep the forest safe.

The Leuser Ecosystem of Indonesia, where this forest lies, has been called
one of the most irreplaceable ecosystems on the planet. But it’s under
critical threat from poaching, infrastructure projects like hydroelectric
dams, and mass deforestation.

That’s why we partnered with Forum Konservasi Leuser (FKL) to purchase and
protect massive amounts of this forest...and give these critically
endangered species a fighting chance to survive. But now aid cuts are
putting it all in peril.

We can’t let him win. Can you chip in to help defend our partner – and the
forest we helped them buy! – and save this irreplaceable part of our
planet??

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. But
now their work is in critical danger.

It’s time to fight back. If we raise enough, we can not only help them
cover their losses, but keep expanding the protected area they work in
(which we’ve already helped them more than double!).

John, this area critically needs protection. Our partners
need help, *fast*. And every extra penny we raise will be used to fight
back against companies destroying critical natural places like this. Can
we count on you?
