A Saving Nature Conversation

Deep in the rainforests of Sumatra and Brazil, two unassuming trees—Ficus and Cecropia—play heroic roles in the survival of orangutans and sloths. This episode explores how these keystone species feed the forest, reconnect fragmented habitat, and offer hope in the face of deforestation.

Join us for a powerful conversation with Rudi Putra, one of Indonesia’s most courageous and impactful conservation leaders. Hosted by Andy Schiffer, Director of Marketing at Saving Nature, and Erin Willigan, Executive Director, this event dives deep into one of the world’s most urgent environmental battles, the fight to protect the Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra.The Leuser Ecosystem is the last place on Earth where rhinos, tigers, elephants, and orangutans still coexist in the wild. It is also a vital resource for over four million people who rely on its rivers, forests, and biodiversity. Since 2018, Saving Nature has partnered with Rudi and his team at Forum Konservasi Leuser (FKL) to restore this critical rainforest by reestablishing wildlife corridors, dismantling illegal palm oil plantations, and empowering local communities.In this talk, Rudi shares his personal journey, the challenges he faces on the ground, and the progress being made through grassroots action and international support. We also explore how you can play a role in this work by supporting forest restoration, protecting endangered species, and standing with those on the front lines of conservation.If you are inspired by Rudi’s story and want to be part of the solution, you can support the effort to protect and restore the Leuser Ecosystem by donating at the link below.https://savingnature.com/sumatra-camp...Let’s take action together.
