About the Book

When Kinari Webb first traveled to Indonesian Borneo at age 21 to study orangutans, she was both awestruck by the beauty of her surroundings and heartbroken by the rainforest destruction she witnessed. As she got to know the local communities, she realized that their need to pay for expensive healthcare led directly to rampant logging, which in turn imperiled their health and safety even further. Dr. Webb realized her true calling was at the intersection of medicine and conservation. Guardians of the Trees is an essential roadmap for moving forward and the inspiring story of communities coming together to heal the world. ebook icon Audio book icon
