Tropical Cyclone Senyar hit Sumatra hard in November 2025. It killed hundreds and displaced thousands in Aceh. Extreme rain caused the damage, but deforestation made it catastrophic.
Aceh lost over 700,000 hectares of forest since 1990. Illegal logging, palm oil plantations, and mining stripped away nature’s flood defenses. Trees no longer hold soil or slow water. Steep slopes turned into deadly mudslides the moment heavy rain fell.
Healthy forests act like giant sponges—intercepting rain, stabilizing soil, and regulating water flow. Their destruction has made floods in Aceh far worse and far more frequent.
NAVAL Group’s Answer: 800,000 Trees in Gayo Lues Regency!
As a company proudly operating in Aceh and committed to sustainable pine forestry, we are taking direct action.
Starting in 2026, Naval Group will plant 160,000 trees per year for five years—a total of 800,000 trees—in the critical upper watersheds of Gayo Lues Regency, Aceh Province. Working with local communities, farmers, and authorities, we will restore native species, rebuild soil health, and strengthen natural flood defenses for downstream villages.
This is more than tree planting; it’s long-term watershed rehabilitation that protects lives, livelihoods, and biodiversity.
Aceh’s forests can recover—and with them, its resilience to future disasters. Join us in making it happen.
