I Ditched My City Life For a Day to Become a Forest Ranger

Indonesia’s Restorasi Ekosistem Riau (RER) is a 130,000-hectare conservation project to protect and restore essential peat forests on Sumatra island. Patrolling these parts are the RER’s forest rangers—a group of wildlife protectors who guard the forest against illegal loggers and poachers.
