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
