ENABLING THE REWETTING OF THESE KEY AREAS.
TO BUILD THE CAPACITY OF LOCAL PATROL TEAMS TO RESPOND QUICKLY TO PEATLAND FIRES.
TO RAISE AWARENESS AND INVOLVE YOUNGER GENERATIONS IN THE PROTECTION OF THEIR
ENVIRONMENT.
RECENT ACHIEVEMENTS OF THE PROJECT:
AS PART OF THE HYDROLOGICAL RESTORATION EFFORTS, 48 DAMS WERE BUILT TO BLOCK THREE
