Together with people in the nearby villages, we at Borneo Nature Foundation (BNF) work to combat fires to reduce that risk and protect orangutan populations.<\/p>\n<p>However, lack of appropriate fire-fighting transport equipment has led to difficulties in teams moving the necessary kit to fire locations, therefore compromising their ability to fight fires.<\/p>\n<p>With support from the <a href=\"https:\/\/orangutan.com\/\">Orangutan Conservancy<\/a>, funded through donations by <a href=\"https:\/\/yachak.com\/\">Yachak\u00a0<\/a>and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.craigslist.org\/\">Craig\u2019s List<\/a>, BNF was able to equip the local Kereng Bangkirai (consisting of 29 members) and Sabaru (26 members) community fire-fighting teams (hereafter referred to as <em>MPA<\/em>) with motor tricycles.
