Katingan Mentaya Project
@kmpeng.bsky.social
The Katingan Mentaya Project (KMP) is a conservation initiative focused on protecting and restoring the peat swamp forests in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
🌍 Today is International Day of Charity.
At KMP, we see generosity not just in money, but in time, knowledge, and care. Communities here share resources, protect forests, and lift each other up.
That spirit is conservation in action.

Peatlands aren’t just forests — they’re carbon vaults. 🌳📷
Their waterlogged soil locks away centuries of carbon.
Drain or burn them, and it’s released as emissions. 📷

Because deep peat is ancient carbon. Disturbing it means massive emissions.
