Saving the climate with stethoscopes: as a boggling week in #US politics winds down, a new study documents fantastic work done by US-based @HIHngo & Indonesian @YayasanASRI to save lives & trees--by providing healthcare. https://www.forbes.com/sites/jackierocheleau/2020/10/29/how-an-indonesian-healthcare-clinic-is-fighting-climate-change/?sh=6e228ce212e5
Stanford researchers crunched the numbers on @HIHngo & @YayasanASRI's project: $5.2M between 2007-2017 helped avert the loss of $65.3M worth of rainforest carbon & decreased infant mortality 67% in the hospital catchment (120,000 pop).

The Stanford study additionally shows that at @HIHngo & @YayasanASRI's project 50,000 acres of secondary forest regrew to protect the habitat for 3,000 endangered Bornean Orangutans.

Founder @KinariWebb started as a researcher in Borneo & realized people were cutting down

you for protecting trees?"
