Reiten für Rangas 2012

On the weekend of March 17 und 18, 2012, 11 Northern Beaches cyclists will be tackling a challenging course from Canberra to Sydney to raise funds for the Friends of the National Parks Foundation (FNPF), an Indonesian not-for-profit community-based conservation organization that respects the interdependence of wildlife, Lebensraum und der lokalen Gemeinschaft. In seinem dritten Jahr, die 330 km Fahrt hat Tausende von Dollar auf die Hilfe für bedrohte Arten, darunter Orang Utans zu retten angehoben, Die Wolke Leopard und Bali nationales Emblem, der Bali Starling. Abholzung, illegal logging and uncontrollable fires have largely destroyed much of the orangutan habitat. Über 80% of their habitat has been destroyed over the past two decades. Mehr als 3,000 orangutans are killed each year, and only, 40,000 orangutans remain in the wild. Friends of the National Parks Foundation has won numerous awards from AusAid, the Department of Environment, Water, Heritage and the Arts, and the Australian Consulate in Indonesia. Es wurde von der Humane Society International Australien seit unterstützt 2000.
