Description
Mount Halimun Salak National Park is home to endangered species such as the Javan leopard, gibbon and hawk-eagle. These animals are often spotted inside Chevron's Salak geothermal operations areas. We partner with the national park and local, national and international wildlife groups to protect wildlife habitats and maintain nurseries to restore trees that were used to support local businesses. In late 2011, Chevron continued their support of conservation efforts by launching the Green Corridor Initiative, with a goal of planting 250,000 trees over five years. This effort helps restore the degraded forest that connects more than 1,200 acres (486 ha) of the ecological zone of the Mount Halimun Salak National Park forest corridor. The initiative involves more than 1,500 people, the Mount Halimun Salak National Park, foundations, universities and local nongovernmental organizations.
Results
In December 2011, their employees, Mount Halimun Salak National Park representatives and community members planted the first 5,000 trees.
