Lewotobi Eruption Displaces Thousands
Mount Lewotobi in East Flores erupted on Monday, November 4th, causing significant damage to eight villages and forcing thousands of people to flee their homes. Subsequent tremors and eruptions have continued in the days since.
As of Friday, November 8th, the number of displaced individuals has surpassed 8,000. These people are in urgent need of basic necessities and healthcare.
EBF is collaborating with volunteers from the local PEKKA (Pemberdayaan Perempuan Kepala Keluarga) chapter and the Institut Filsafat & Teknologi Kreatif Ledalero to provide relief to the affected communities.

Our sustainable future lies in landscape restoration
Nearly 24 million hectares of Indonesia’s forests have been degraded. Meanwhile, about 35% of villages are located in forest fringe areas, where communities are dependent upon natural resources. We have a plan to change that.
We believe in education and inclusive economic growth to be the main catalysts in climate change mitigation. Through decades of work in bamboo and agroforestry systems, we are now on our way to a global Restoration Economy program, designed to reforest degraded lands and turn them into sustainable resources for our community and our planet.
