in the long term, a nature reserve can only persist if it does not clash with the interests of the local population. The BOS Foundation in Indonesia tries to show that humans and nature can live in harmony. In contrast to monocultural reforestation, in Samboja Lestari agriculture and reforestation are combined. Under young trees such as teak, fruits and vegetables are planted.The orangutans in the Wanariset Rehabilitation center eat more than a ton of fruits a day. Fruits like Papaya, pineapple or bananas are partially grown in SL.http://www.createrainforest.org/image/2435348360360Through the combination of agriculture and reforestation (agroforestry) the protection of nature can be usefully linked to an income for the lokal community. Tree and agricultural fruit (here papaya and pineapple) benefit of each other. For example the trees shade the agricultural fruits which on the other hand cover the soil beween the planting rows, reduce erosion and prevent the overgrowth of the trees by the alang-alang weed http://www.createrainforest.org/image/2435374360360The TV team of Pro7 works with director Alain Compost. For the Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation it is vital that Samboja Lestari and the rescue of orangutans is made known to the world.http://www.createrainforest.org/image/172497360360A major problem is the erosion of soil by wind and rain following the relentless destruction of the forest. Against this erosion we have to take action. One measure is to plant the tree rows across the incline of hillsides, another is to use diverse plants with varying root systems. Especially the agricultural herbaceous plants with their fine roots are a good addition in between the planting rows http://www.createrainforest.org/image/172488360360 Many hundreds or even thousands of trees are planted daily. How many precisely, depends on the weather: in very dry periods planting may be temporarily halted.http://www.createrainforest.org/image/172468360360'Aren' sugar from the sugar palm is common in Indonesian kitchens, and could easily compete with white crystal sugar.http://www.createrainforest.org/image/172442360360http://www.youtube.com/v/2kxsG4cYtWw
