Johannes Schwegler is a pragmatic visionary, timber engineer and the founder of the Non-Profit Organization Fairventures Worldwide. Johannes as well as his partners and friends in Borneo developed a program to fight one of our biggest issues nowadays. The deforestation of rainforest in the global south. Starting the "One million trees" project his team and many Indonesian small scale farmers already planted more than 1 million trees not only to save the rainforest but also to secure the farmers livelihood. Will they be able to reach their next goal of 100 million trees for Borneo?
