Trading jungle for medical care

New Mexico native Kinari Webb decided as an undergraduate that she was going to study orangutans in Borneo. Through an eye-popping series of events, she now runs a medical clinic there. Villagers receive medical care in exchange for a small affordable payment and a pledge not to destroy what's left of the rain forest. The village goes green, and the villagers get healthier. PBS is planning a piece on this little clinic, which is two hours from the nearest airport. Read about her, if only to convince yourself that amazing things can and do happen in this world. (Not least amazing: Webb has reportedly never paid a bribe to Indonesian officials.)
