BNF Reforestation Development Funding

Borneo Nature Foundation has recently been approved for a grant to develop a boardwalk as part of their plan to reforest the Kanal Ruslan area in Central Kalimantan. The proposed boardwalk development will assist the reforestation team and community nursery in their effort to expand the planting area.
