Arbor partner, Stand for Trees, helps reverse climate change by protecting and expanding existing forests. Partnering with Stand For Trees, Arbor is proud to say that the Rimba Raya project in Borneo, Indonesia is now fully funded. Rimba Raya has fulfilled 100% of the project’s carbon impact fundraising goal, allowing the forest to be protected for future generations.

Through the project’s lifetime, paper and palm oil industries threatened to develop the Rimba Raya Orangutan Reserve, endangering mangrove trees responsible for reducing atmospheric carbon and protecting 120 wildlife species. Mangrove trees are incredibly efficient at removing atmospheric carbon and have become an essential component to the peatland swamp forest’s environmental impact.

Not only has the project had a positive environmental impact, it has also had a positive social and economic impact. In line with the three pillars of sustainability and the UN sustainable development goals, the project has worked to develop a sustainable fishing industry in the Seruyan river and programs such as clean cookstoves, mobile clinics, micro-financing, and school supplies within the region. When communities focus on successful sustainable practices, economics and social rewards become granted.

If you backed the Rimba Raya project through Arbor, you helped conserve a forest sequestering 100 million tons of CO₂ in a 30 year period. Arbor’s community contributed to Rimba Raya’s goal and we are tremendously excited that the project has been successful.

We look forward to working with Stand For Trees on future projects to help reverse climate change! Stay tuned to learn what the next opportunity will be!

Climate change is overwhelming. The media only seems to cover negative news in terms of our climate’s direction. Not to worry: Moms all over the world are helping to solve the climate crisis. Moms understand that pollution is not distributed equally and bad air quality affects families globally.

As a society, we must work as a community to battle this grand challenge, and moms will be the key to driving community change. Moms are leaders in renewable energy, transportation, sustainability, environmental engineering, and urban forestry within the climate movement.

412 Technology wants to highlight the million members of the Moms Clean Air Force working to provide awareness, education, and climate activism to communities struggling with the adverse climate change effects. As an organization we appreciate all the work you do for our climate!

At Arbor we make it easy for moms (and everyone!) to solve climate change quickly and efficiently. With the stress and magnitude of this crisis, it may seem too impossible to fix. Arbor streamlines the process by giving moms the opportunity to choose climate reversal projects to offset their own personal climate impacting decisions. In our current user base, moms are already leading other users in offsets purchased with Arbor!

As Mother’s Day approaches this Sunday, take a moment to thank and appreciate your mom for all the work that she has done to bring you a sustainable life!
