2020 ANNUAL REPORT | 13
“ Rainforests are one of Earth ’ s most critical natural resources , not only for the diversity of life they support but because they provide valuable services to people and communities , such as erosion prevention and flood control . Protecting rainforests is also one of the most effective ways to prevent the release of carbon that causes climate change .”
– Lori Dunstan , Vice President , Global Corporate Giving , Chubb
With the support of Chubb , we were able to purchase important rainforest habitat in the Leuser ecosystem , the only place on earth where orangutans , tigers , rhinos and elephants coexist .
