Rimba Raya

Rimba Raya protects over 640 square kilometers of High Conservation Value tropical peat forest, with over 350 million tonnes of carbon stored in their peat domes. The measurable contribution to emission avoidance is the equivalent of removing one million cars from the world’s highways every year for the next 30 years! The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve project supports.

Mangrove Plantations

Healthy and thriving mangroves are linked with bountiful coastal communities, since mangrove health is closely tied with coastal socio economic stability. Eden Restoration is using a unique methodology of ‘employ to plant’ in order to target both of these problems. To involve locals within the core project execution and provide fair employment to local people so that they may grow, plant, and guard to maturity native species forest on a massive scale.

Forest Regeneration

With every sustainable hamper purchased we will plant a tree. The largest threat driving deforestation in Cambodia is land clearance for both large and small scale agriculture. KSWS sits at a deforestation frontier with areas of nearby protected and unprotected land extensively cleared over the last decade. There is also a great deal of illegal wildlife poaching and illegal logging of rare tree species. This project helps ensure the long term protection of the project.

Orangutan Wildlife Reserve

The Rimba Raya Biodiversity Reserve collaborates closely with the Orangutan Foundation International (OFI) to actively conserve these charismatic great apes. Palm oil is the leading cause of orangutan extinction, where it is estimated that every year 1,000 5,000 orangutans are killed by palm oil concessions. The Reserve is now a critical buffer zone between palm oil and one of the last populations of wild orangutans on Earth.

Reasons to buy sustainable hampers

Support local farmers

When you purchase sustainable food and wine, you are supporting farmers and businesses that focus on organic, natural farming practices. This helps them stay economically viable while also protecting the environment.

Protect the environment

Sustainable farming practices are designed to maintain the health of the environment and its natural resources. This helps protect the soil, air, and water, while also preserving wildlife habitats.

Promote healthier eating habits

Sustainable food and wine products are often produced without the use of artificial hormones, antibiotics, and chemical based pesticides. Eating these healthier, more natural foods can benefit your health.

Appreciate the Quality

Sustainable food and wine products are typically of higher quality than the mass produced foods found in most supermarkets. For true connoisseurs, the texture and flavour of sustainably made products can be far superior.

Protect Biodiversity

Sustainable farming practices help protect biodiversity by providing a wide range of natural habitats for birds, insects, and other animals. This benefits both farmers and the local environment.
