The Prophet (saw) said,
"Muslims will always earn the reward of charity for planting a tree..." (Bukhari).
Indonesia is one of the most bio diverse regions in the world. It is facing a massive threat from logging operations which could destroy the habitat of endangered Sumatran tigers, orang-utans, elephants and a myriad other species mostly unknown to the outside world.
Between 1985 and 2007, the island of Sumatra alone lost 12 million hectares of natural forest; a 48 percent loss over 22 years. The point is, as a carbon sink Indonesia’s forest reserves are a valuable asset to the entire planet and it is in all our interests to protect it. It will clearly be seen internationally as a contribution by a Muslim country to reverse the processes of climate change.
IFEES is part of the Green Indonesia movement in Indonesia and the proceeds and pledges of this dinner will go towards a tree planting programme at the base of which will be the huge network of madrasas (over 10,00) spread throughout the length and breath of the country. Working with them known as pesantrens, Ulema (Scholars) and local Government and the support of UK schools, we hope to plant as many trees as possible in denuded forest areas and nurtured them for years.
All welcome but limited spaces only!
