Carbon Offsetting Program

Carbon Offsetting Program is a new program we started since January this year. While you do tour to see orangutan in the wild, you also could learn and do the best thing to their habitat as well. This program really important as this is to replanting the trees in Tanjung Puting National Park. The tree we grow here is endemic trees. We have cooperated with the local village to collect the trees and put them in the plastic bag. when it is ready our clients who join our tour will buy the little trees and grow them by them self. This program give direct benefit to the local people. As for our clients this is kind of payment for the carbon they had produced from their flight or transportation they had used to get here. Imagine if one person one tree!! it would be lots of trees will grow in one year.

A wall of Nipa’s a kind palm fringe the water’s edge, beyond which proboscis monkeys and macaque leap across the forest canopy. Every afternoon they are all hung up near the water’s edge on the beauty trees or branches for overnight.
