Dear *|FNAME|*,

Rainforest Rescue invites *|MMERGE3|* and your staff on the adventure of a lifetime while at the same time promoting your business as part of an environmentally caring community.

The endangered Orangutans need our help. Their precious rainforest homes are being destroyed at an alarming rate, by destructive farming and harvesting practices.

In partnership with Inspired Adventures, we have created a unique opportunity for businesses to become involved in the fight against climate change, by sending individuals and groups right into the heart of it – the Sumatran rainforest.

Guided on an 11 day adventure including a 4 day rainforest trek, participants will see Orangutans in their natural habitat, learn about the threats to their rainforest through deforestation and burning, and help replant trees where National Parks have been illegally cleared.

Rainforest Rescue’s Orangutan Adventure Trek is a fundraising activity that will directly contribute to our projects in restoring and protecting habitat for Orangutans and other endangered species while also providing alternate livelihood options for local communities.

Not only is this good news for Indonesian rainforest inhabitants, the carbon sequestered through these projects is helping to combat climate change – an issue of international importance.

Where does the Trek take place at what dates and times?

The Orangutan Adventure Trek is due to depart Sydney in March 2010. Running for a total of 11 days, participants will fly to Jakarta then onto Medan, Sumatra.

From here a short drive to the outskirts of the Gunung Leuser National Park to view Orangutans that have been rehabilitated and released in this zone. Participants will learn about impacts to the forest as they are guided through the jungle to beautiful and remote Tangkahan. Here a once-in-a-lifetime experience of washing and riding Elephants is waiting, followed by a relaxed visit to a local school.

Rainforest Rescue's Plant A Rainforest Indonesia project is located close by and participants will be able to engage with local community helping to plant trees in tracks of rainforest that has been cleared. Knowing that this hands-on help plus the financial component is making a huge contribution to provide alternate income and livelihood to local farmers who may otherwise be harming the rainforest and its animals for survival.

 

What are the benefits to your company?

  • The Trek can be provided to key staff as part of a rewards program, helping staff
