nantuproject

This project is run by Dy Lynn Clayton a conservation biologist attached to Oxford University's Wildlife Conservation Research Unit. 

Aspects of this project have been funded by UK government's Darwin Initiative Programme, The British Embassy in Jakarta (UK Government Foreign and Commonwealth Office), and The Whitley Awards.

For the past 15 years the Nantu Project has protected critically endangered Babirusa (a unique curly tusked pig) and  its last global stronghold, the Nantu Forest in northern Sulawesi, Indonesia. 

The Nantu Project is a practical example of the reduced carbon emissions that can result from high-quality rainforest being actively protected at a grass roots level. 

These films show how wildlife and local people have benefitted from the protection 52,000 hectares (200 square miles) of forest that would otherwise have been destroyed.
