Message to Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co., Ltd
Sir Wisnu Prastowo (Head of Forestry Department Indonesia Embassy)
This rainforest recovery project is of significant importance to Indonesia. Previously, Java had abundant protected forests that were of high quality. However, much of it was lost to illegal harvesting. Indonesian government prioritizes forestry restoration as part of national policy, making this project a very promising one.
With plantation of not just native species but of fruit trees being put in action, local residents also expect a boost in local economy.
We thank everyone at Mitsui Sumitomo Insurance Co., Ltd for supporting us.
