On a trip to Borneo in 1993 to study orangutans, Kinari Webb saw rainforest habitat being lost to illegal logging.
People living in the Indonesian region would cut down trees and sell the wood for a variety of subsistence needs, including medical care.
After spending 400 hours speaking with locals, Webb founded Health in Harmony in 2005. The goal was twofold: provide medical care for locals and combat the loss of rainforests in Gunung Palung National Park.
With the depletion of rainforests contributing to climate change, the nonprofit says combining medical care with environmental protection makes perfect sense. Both are crucial to human health.
