This project stores a total of 966,306,944 metric tons of CO2 equivalents, of which 900,876,479 metric tons are in the carbon-rich peat swamp soils we have protected. These protected areas secure important habitat for many other threatened aquatic and terrestrial species, including the Critically Endangered Siamese Crocodile and Bornean Orangutan, Endangered Proboscis Monkey, Endangered Malaysian Giant Turtle and numerous threatened bird species. This project overlaps the protected Aquatic Reserve of Pesut Mahakam, bringing the total area safeguarded to 546,842 acres. Rainforest Trust and local partner Yayasan Konservasi Rare Aquatic Species of Indonesia have established an Aquatic Nature Reserve and a Peat Swamp Conservation Area along the Mahakam River in East Kalimantan, Indonesia, for a total of 440,297 protected acres. Locally known as the “Pesut,” the dolphin is revered by the local community but is highly threatened by entanglement in gill nets and the destruction of riparian habitat. In Indonesia’s Mahakam River, however, exists a Critically Endangered, genetically distinct population.
