Guardians of
the Rainforest
The key to

logging might

In 2012, Topher White was taking a break from his work as a web
engineer by volunteering at an Indonesian gibbon reserve when he
had an encounter that would change the trajectory of his life.
Hiking out into what seemed like pristine rainforest one morning,
White ran straight into a man with a chainsaw, chopping an old
teak tree into lumber.
