At the Sumatran Ranger Project, we are proud to have four incredible women as part of our dedicated ranger team. This Female Ranger Week, we are sharing their stories.

The Sumatran Ranger Project has prevented human-elephant conflict, and has a deep record of elephant sightings, with almost a decade's worth of research on one particular herd and is the only organisation in the area (Langkhat District) studying Sumatran elephant behaviour in this way.

We are deeply saddened by the passing of our highly respected Senior Ranger, Serasi.

Our amazing Pera Pinem has won the inaugural World Female Ranger ‘Trailblazer’ Award. Pera was the only female ranger in North Sumatra (and possibly Indonesia) for three years.

Sumatran Ranger Project hosted a group of conservation volunteers in May 2023 to construct our eighth predator-proof livestock corral in North Sumatra.

We were one of three lucky applicants to be selected for field support to help wildlife and people thrive.
