Let’s adopt trees!

You can support our programs by adopting trees. We focus on peatland conservation, forest fire prevention and community development.

    Balangeran (Shorea blangeran)

    What tree is it?
    Balangeran can grow as tall as 20-25 meters with a branch-free stem height of 15 meters. The wood from this tree is classified as Strong Class II, so it is suitable for building materials (Martawijaya et al., 1989). Several studies have shown that phytochemical compounds in the bark of Shorea balangeran function as antioxidants (Wardani and Susilo, 2016). Based on IUCN Red List, balangeran is a rare and endangered species. One of the ways to conserve Shorea balangeran is by planting them for peatland rehabilitation.
