Growing sales of an Indonesian nut called kenari is helping to reduce deforestation.
Like Nth Wonder it also sources its kenari from Alor Island.
"We really want to educate the young people that this is a very good opportunity to go back to your village, and we also want to support education. These are very long-term goals for us." Kawanasi is also continuing to work with the Indonesian government to promote the nuts both inside the country and overseas, where it has participated in a number of international food fairs.
"This nut has huge potential to benefit smallholder farmers and give them income from their rainforest trees," she says. "If we could commercialise more wild nuts from the rainforest like kenari it will help to diversify our food systems, prevent carbon loss and preserve our rainforests.""At the moment this industry is helping to preserve the rainforest," she says.
