Working in one of Indonesia's national parks, Gunong Palung, Health in Harmony has been supporting medical centers and providing health care to communities that have taken to protecting their own local environments.
Kinari Webb (picture shown here), the founder, says "In parts of West Kalimantan 25% of children die before age five, mothers often die in childbirth, and even "simple" injuries like a cut on the hand can lead to death without access to tetanus shots or antibiotics." Their organisation today works to combine "health, nature, and balance" and their "activities lie at the interface between healthcare and environmental conservation."
Health in Harmony works to support their Indonesian project Alam Sehat Lestari (ASRI) which translates as: "healthy nature everlasting". Reza, who was in Bogor (Indonesia) recently, and had a chance to catch up with ASRI's Conservation Director, Antonia Gorog, to share a little about what the organisation does, its beginning and how this is making an impact.
