NEW RSPB APPEAL

Help us plant one million trees and make Harapan Rainforest green again.

For years, Harapan Rainforest, on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, suffered from illegal logging. This destroyed vast areas of lush greenery and vital habitat for all its wildlife.

When we and our local partners took over the rainforest management three years ago, we immediately put in place a team of forest wardens to protect the rainforest from further illegal logging.

Planting one million trees

I'm e-mailing you today because we need your support. Although huge areas of the rainforest are already recovering naturally - flourishing with plants and rich in wildlife - we must now begin the long process of restoring the degraded areas which remain.

Please help us plant and nurture one million trees from little seeds into towering giants of the rainforest.

With your help, we can once again make Harapan Rainforest home to some truly amazing wildlife - which already includes Asian elephants, Malayan sunbears, rhinoceros hornbills, Storm's storks and a breeding population of Sumatran tigers.

Our one million trees will be made up of 57 fast-growing species. These will be used to form a wildlife 'corridor' between existing areas of good rainforest - giving wildlife space to live.

The first phase of replanting will cost two million pounds - just £2 a tree. Please help us plant and nurture 10 trees with a donation of £20 today.

Together we can make Harapan Rainforest green again.

Many thanks
