VOICED : Borneo loggers swap chainsaws for cheap healthcare

The video discusses an initiative by an Indonesian charity that incentivizes villagers to stop logging by offering affordable health care. This project, which began in 2007, has significantly reduced the number of logging households. Villagers who cease logging entirely receive a 70% discount on medical treatment, while those less committed get smaller discounts. For those unable to pay, a barter system using tree saplings is available. The initiative aims to protect forests, improve health, and boost the local economy. Despite Indonesia's significant rainforest loss, such projects offer hope for a greener future.
