By local people, for local people.
We employ a team of 11 rangers who patrol the edge of the Gunung Leuser National Park in North Sumatra.
They deactivate and destroy traps and snares, provide community outreach and education, mitigate and prevent human-wildlife conflict, collect vital data from the forest, and support communities to achieve sustainable and practical solutions to issues that affect quality of life and livelihoods.
The rangers are all locals themselves, living in the forest edge communities they are working so hard to help protect and support.
We monitor wildlife through camera traps, patrols and direct monitoring.
We also employ four staff to run our budding seedling programme; a community support initiative to help locals move away from palm oil and rubber, and improve livelihoods.
Our Rangers.
In memory.
