PROJECT SUMMARY
The proposed project location is in Leuser Ecosystem, a 26,000 sq km wilderness area spread in the
two most northern provinces Sumatra Utara and Aceh. Proposed project will cover 30,000 ha of mostly
flat lowland rainforest that contains last remaining viable population of orangutan in the Leuser
Ecosystem in Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam (NAD) and the in North Sumatra. The area in North Sumatra
is referred to as Sekundur, and is bisected by the Besitang River which here flows roughly eastward to
the sea, and in Mamas Bengkung in Dairi
Because of gentle terrain and fertile soils forests are rich with wildlife in Sekundur and MamasBengkung area. These fertile areas also considered as suitable areas for settlement. Aceh forest area,
is under continual pressure from illegal harvest logging, wildlife poaching, slash and burn agricultural
practices. Leuser International Foundation has been working in Leuser Ecosystem area for more than a
decade and would like to propose an awareness program, to protect forests and the orangutan habitat.
The threats endangering the habitats and populations of orangutan are habitat loss which mainly
caused by illegal logging, land conversion to agriculture including palm plantations, mining and other
development activities including road development, encroachment, weak law enforcement, hunting and
lack of awareness.
The major objectives of the project :
To assess current situation of natural resource management and peoples dependency
(livelihoods) on the nearby forests, and laws governing them.
To build awareness on the importance of orangutan habitat in conservation of the species and
its potential use to the local ecological security and economy,
To document folk tales and traditional knowledge associated with orangutans and other
associated species
To integrate in conservation strategies, to improve the law enforcement capabilities of
departments through conservation education and involving local communities, and
To educate local school children about orangutan to raise awareness about conservation of the
species.
The LIF proposed approach issue of conservation through socioeconomic development of the region.
Through participatory process LIF proposed to assess the existing natural resource utilization and
management, including the threats to Orangutans and their habitat to formulate appropriate
development and conservation initiatives. The project implementation is based on participatory process
hence there will be better acceptability and involvement of all stakeholders including the communities
living around orangutan habitat. Village contact programs for assessing natural assessment will be
carried through PRA and RRAs in all the project villages. Appropriate communication strategies will be
developed based on the village contact programs, followed by village campaigns. Training need
assessment for law enforcement agencies will be carried out to organize training programs, for
improving law enforcement to protect habitat and forests. Important part of campaigns will be integrating
environmental education with the regular curriculum for the school children.
Overall cost of project will be USD 251,906 out of which funds required from Orangutan Conservation
Service Program (OCSP) USD 176,082 and LIF will contribute USD 75,824. The project will help to
save 3079 s km of prime forest which has 1295 S km of orangutan habitat and around 2000 orangutan
population.

1. INTRODUCTION
Being recognized as a distinct species, the Sumatran orangutan population has been declining continuously and
is now on the brink of extinction. IUCN categorized the Sumatran orangutan as critically Endangered, a higher
level of threat status than the Borneon orangutan. There are 13 identified orangutan population/habitat units in
Sumatra with only seven that are estimated to contain 250 or more individuals and only 3 containing over 500
individuals. Of these populations, six are believed to experience at least 10% annual habitat loss. According to
Sumatran Orangutan conservation action Plan 2005 Orangutan populations on Sumatra are projected to decline
even more dramatically within the next few years. The recent orangutan Population Habitat Viability analysis
(PHVA) predicted that unless continued habitat loss is stopped immediately, the Sumatran orangutan population
will decline by around 50% within a decade, by 97% in 50 years, and will eventually disappear shortly after.
Hence there is need for effective conservation strategies.
As a living creature that is very much dependent on tropical rainforests for its existence, the orangutan is
considered the best representative of the biodiversity because of its wide home range and habitat conditions.
Therefore, if conservation efforts are focused on the orangutan, the entire prime forest biodiversity in its home
range will also be protected. The Orangutan can, therefore, be considered an umbrella species in the
conservation of tropical rainforests. The orangutan also has an important role in maintaining the balance of the
ecosystem by dispersing the seeds of its food. The absence of the orangutan may therefore result in the
extinction of certain plants. The most important factor is the function of the forest as a life support system for
human beings and other forms of life.
The viability of the orangutan depends very much on its tropical rainforest habitat ranging from lowland forests,
swamps, mountains approximately 1,800 m asl. The highest density of the orangutan is found in lowland areas
approximately 200-400 m asl. In Kalimantan the orangutan population is found up to an altitude of 500-800 m
asl while in Sumatra the adult male can sometimes be found at an altitude of more than 1500 m asl. This altitude
range reflects the loss of habitat in lowland areas and the high rate of competition with human beings.
Most of the Sumatran orangutan populations are located outside nature reserve areas and nature conservation
areas. Areas that protect and manage their orangutan distribution wisely will benefit from the outcome in the
form of sustainable natural resources. Long term benefits include the protection of water sources, sources of
food, medicine, and income soil fertility, fresh air, education and research. Efforts include avoiding the
conversion of forests with high biodiversity including forests containing orangutan habitats. Set-aside lands,
critical lands, or secondary forests can be used for the development of plantations (for example, oil palm
plantations) and these will prove to be more beneficial to the local area. This can be put into practice by policy
makers (both legislative and executive) through spatial planning to achieve sustainable development.

3. THREATS TO ORANGUTAN POPULATIONS AND HABITAT

Sumatra Orangutan Conservation Action Plan has identified the following threats endangering the habitats and
populations of Orangutan in Sumatra.
1. Habitat Loss : Is mainly because of Illegal logging, encroachment and land conversion to Agriculture
including oil palm plantations, mining and other development activities including road development.
Illegal extraction of timber is the continuing in the forest areas as well in the national park region. The
illegal logging causes soil erosion and landslides. It is causing unprecedented hardship to people living
with in the vicinity of the area. Orangutans are fast losing their pristine habitat. Trans-migrants from
Java who were displaced because of conflict in Aceh are settling down in the fertile low lands and plain
areas. Incidentally these are the only areas viable Orangutan populations are confined. The
encroachments, legal and illegal logging activities and roads are fragmenting the habitat. Large tracts
are being cleared for agriculture and oil palm plantations. Oil palm plantations are gradually replacing
the low land forests and primary forests. The oil palm plantations being monoculture offer little scope for
the animals to survive. The governments, considering that the plantations bring employment to local
communities and contribute to local economy, encourage the oil palm plantations. The reality is the oil
companies are not owned by the local communities and some owned by foreign companies. Some
times the labor is also not from the local area. The expansion of oil palm is creating social tension and
also threatening orangutan (Ref. to map : 3)
2. Encroachment: Trans-migrants who are displace because of conflict in Aceh are being settled in some
of the fertile low land forest areas. Large tracts are cleared for settlements. Encouraged by the new
clearances there is spurt in encroachment by the local residents.
3. Weak Law Enforcement : The illegal activities are unabated mainly because of weak law enforcement.
Dinas Kehutanan responsible for the land are poorly equipped with adequate powers and technically
qualified personnel to implement the forestry laws. The boundary demarcation between the forest and
non forest area is not very clear on records as well on ground. This lack of awareness about the legal
boundaries is prime reason for weak law enforcement.
4. Hunting : Hunting is low intensive, but is major threat. Hunting is mainly done for low domestic and high
international trade. The animals are mainly hunted to keep them as pets. The low intensive hunting is
threatening Orangutan population.
5. Lack of Awareness: In general there is lack of awareness about biodiversity conservation and natural
resource management and its relevance to local economy and livelihoods. There is clear information
available to local communities linking healthy population of orangutans with healthy habitat, forests and
ecological security for the locals.
Base on population habitat viability analysis (PHVA) it is estimated that "With current estimated rates and
timescale of habitat loss and the associated removal of orangutans, model results indicate that habitat loss and
other factors will cause Sumatran orangutan populations to decline about 18-25% in the next 10 years
(depending upon conditions) and about 50% over the next 50 years."
Leuser International Foundation is currently responsible for implementing Aceh Forest and Environmental
Programme ( AFEP), with objective to " protect critical environmental resource and services from the Leuser
Ecosystem. This project will also contribute toward mitigating negative impacts of reconstruction in the forests of
Aceh, the mainstreaming environmental concerns in to planning processes and building sustainable capacity and
institutions for forest protection. By helping to ensure that ecosystems services provided by the forest are
maintained, the project will support Aceh,s future social and economic development". Under this programme
monitoring of illegal activities in the Aceh part of the Leuser Ecosystem, rehabilitation of degraded areas, spatial
planning activities an awareness activities are carried out. The programme is confined to only Aceh province
area of Leuser Ecosystem. Leuser Ecosystem is spread in Sumatra Utara in not covered under the project.
Conservation is not bound by geopolitical boundaries. There is need for addressing the problems of conservation
in Sumatra Utara. The proposed project will complement the efforts of conservation in Aceh to secure a bright
future for Orangutans. Orangutan conservation Action Plan working group recognized that orangutan could
better saved through Socio-economic empowerment of the local communities, and involving all the stakeholders

through utilizing the traditional knowledge and popularizing the uniqueness of Orangutan population of Trumon
Singkil.
4. IMPORTANT RECOMMENDATIONS FOR MOBILIZING PEOPLES SUPPORT FOR CONSERVATION OF
ORANGUTANS BY SOCAP

Implement social-community programs to empower the local economies and develop capacity and
productivity in communities adjacent to orangutan habitat.
Support and expand agro forestry programs
Utilize barren and unproductive land with multi-purpose tree species (including gaharu, kemenyan and
sutra), apiculture, and seed gardens (for seed transfer) in the Pakpak Bharat area, Dairi, Singkil and
Trumon.
Build capacity for business development for local stakeholders. Support traditional institutions
(Lembaga Adat) and integrate traditional knowledge and beliefs into orangutan conservation and
awareness campaigns.
Revive traditional wisdom and history, such as the fable Si Maung.
Set up information boards for orangutan conservation in and around habitat areas.
Incorporate local beliefs in orangutan habitat and its habitat conservation into awareness campaign
programs
Socialize orangutan conservation information through a national media campaign, using numerous
tactics including, for example an essay competition, drawing competition, nature tours, TV, radio and
newspaper public service announcements.

5. APPROACH (PHILOSOPHY)
Proposed approach is to assess the existing natural resource utilization and management, including the threats
to the habitat of Orangutan habitat and their populations to formulate appropriate development and conservation
initiatives. Assessment will done through participatory process hence there will be better acceptability and
involvement of all stakeholders. Efforts will be made to integrate conservation with development.
Based on the Orangutan conservation Action plan and LIFs information data base we propose the following
major objectives for the project :
1. To assess current situation of natural resource management and peoples dependency on the nearby
forests
2. To assess scope for community based conservation initiatives
3. Evaluate the existing local laws about sustainable development, livelihood issues and document
peoples aspirations for amendments.
4. Identify potential partners for social development and conservation
5. To build awareness on the importance of orangutan habitat in conservation of the species and its
potential use to the local ecological security and economy.
6. To document folk tales and traditional knowledge associated with Orangutans and other associated
species to integrate in conservation strategies.
7. To improve the law enforcement capabilities of departments through conservation education and
involving local communities.
8. To educate local school children about Orangutan to raise awareness about conservation of the
species.

6. PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The project is proposed has four distinct components for implementation.
1. Village contact programme for stock taking: Through village contact programme we plan to cover all
the project villages to assess the current situation about the natural resource use, peoples dependency
on forests, development situation. Problems of deforestation threatening Orangutan habitat, opinion of
stakeholders, plausible solutions for the local problems.
2. Campaigns and training for community based conservation and development: Specific campaigns
will be developed based on the information gathered through intensive village contact programme. A
definitive communication strategy will be developed for conservation of Orangutans. The campaigns will
be aimed at specific task resulting in action. The expectations from the community can be specific at the
same time projected benefits from the Orangutan conservation programme will be based on realistic
assessment of the ground situation.
3. Community based protection, awareness and capacity building : for the law enforcement agencies:
parallel to village contact programmes, need assessment studies will be conducted for the law
enforcement agencies to assess the current potentialities of the personnel, problems of protection to
formulate appropriate training programmes for capacity building.
4.

Integrating Environmental education with school curriculum: Environmental education materials

developed exclusively about Leuser ecosystem will be integrated with regular curriculum.

7. PROJECT IMPLEMENTATION
Public participation is crucial for success of any project. Through public participation public can influence and
share responsibility over development initiatives including conservation, for the decisions are going to affect
resource use and economy. Hence emphasis is on understanding the local context and involvement of local
community in assessment of the natural resource use and formulates appropriate conservation and development
strategies. Through public participation we hope to provide
a) An opportunity to the local people to express their views and problems and aspirations
b) Obtain baseline data about socioeconomic data including the local problems
c) Peoples attitudes about environmental problems and plausible solutions interested individuals and
community organizations
d) Community involvement process will increase sense of ownership and improve chances of success of
future conservation campaigns
e) Stakeholders participation will ensure chances of success of sustainable development and
conservation projects
Communication strategy and campaigns will play a valuable role in informing and educating the community about
the initiative it will reinforce the existing positive attitude and change negative attitude and ultimately help the
conservation efforts.
Village contact programme: All the villages within 3 Km from the periphery of the boundary of the project
(Project list enclosed) will be surveyed. Participatory rural appraisal (PRA)/ Rapid rural assessment RRA)
techniques are known to be very versatile and cost effective in assessing the current situation of natural resource
management. (Annex 6)They are based on the participatory process hence the villagers will have sense of
ownership. PRA/RRA will be conducted to assess the natural resources use of the communities, socioeconomic
profile of the villagers, overall development problems, deforestation , transmigration resettlement man-animal
conflict encroachment etc will be documented. The assessment will also provide opportunity to understand the
key players in the village development, stakeholders, interested parties and interested person in future
programmes. The village contact programme will help us in forging an alliance with village community.
PRA/RRA exercise in each village will be carried out in 3 days. Day one Teams establish community leaders

and appraise them about the PRA/RRA exercise. Exhibit educational material. Try and contact all the individual
households to invite them to participate in the exercise. Preferably public announcement systems will also be
used to make it public and open programme. Day 2 team will facilitate PRA/RRA exercise and help villagers
compile the information. Day 3. Discussions with villagers about the resource use and compile aspirations of
communities. Identify key players and active workers who can be associated with the conservation initiatives.
These active workers can be potential informants about various illegal activities in the region Communication.
Community based conservation and development campaigns: Kecamatan and Kabupaten and project level
workshops will be organized to develop appropriate communication strategy for promoting community based
conservation and development In the region. Special integrative workshops will organized to help the department
to develop strategy to involve community in law enforcement. A good communication strategy and its effective
transmission to all participating partners is paramount in success of the project and achieving the desired results.
Local civil society organizations, government officials, political leaders, academicians and community leaders will
be involved in developing the communication strategy and campaigns. The workshops will also analyze
opportunities strengths weaknesses and threats in the campaigns, identify potential problems and solutions.
Under the project we intend to establish village information centres which will disseminate information about
various development programmes including orangutan conservation.
Capacity building : Dinas Kehutanan and BKSDA is officially responsible for management of these forests and
project areas. The areas are large the staff required for management are inadequate. The available staff are not
well trained in all aspects of protection and conservation, community mobilization for protection as a result the
areas are beset with all major problems. For the law enforcement agencies need assessment surveys will be
conducted to assess the current level of protection and skills required to be imparted. Capacity building trainings
will be organized various aspects of conservation, protection, law enforcement, and people's participation in
controlling illegal activities.
Integrating Environmental education with school curriculum : LIF has developed simple and user friendly
books about Leuser Ecosystem. Aceh province has designated these books as supplementary readers for the
main science books for the school children. These supplementary books are provided free of cost to the schools.
Training is imparted to school teachers to integrate regular curriculum with supplementary books. Each school is
encouraged to establish ecoclubs to promote environmental education.

11. LEUSER INTERNATIONAL FOUNDATION STRENGTHS IN THE IMPLEMENTING THE PROPOSED
PROJECT
The LIF is also the recipient of a special mandate (by Presidential Decree) to implement the management of the
conservation of the Leuser Ecosystem. This was the first of its kind for Indonesia and now several similar
initiatives to give the non-government sector a more meaningful role in conservation are being developed.
Among the major conservation victories (and Indonesian procedures) achieved by the LIF are the closure of
several road projects that would have destroyed the Leuser Ecosystem, the cancellation of six logging
concessions and three inappropriately sited plantations, the termination of several swamp drainage schemes,
and the saving of almost half a million ha of forest that would otherwise have been clear felled and converted to
agriculture.
LIF has field community monitoring teams and mobile patrolling units working in the area for monitoring the
illegal activities in the field. The results are compiled periodically and shared with appropriate law enforcement
agencies. LIF is also trying to promote environmental education on a limited scale through Anak Anak Leuser
Comic books and "Leuser Buku Ajar". Workshops for teachers have also been done in some areas to make sure
the teachers understand the textbooks and use the books to supplement the environmental education in their
schools. There are requests to form Eco Clubs in schools to share environmental knowledge, experience and
ideas among the members. A Leuser Video Award competition was held once in Jakarta and received a lot of
creative ideas and illustration from the public especially teenagers on the environment in the form of short video
recordings to send the message to the audience. Three Leuser articles were released in Garuda Flight
Magazine for three months.

11

12. MONITORING AND EVALUATION

Project Monitoring and evaluation will be carried out quarterly by monitoring the schools, which use the Leuser
textbooks. There will be discussions with the teachers about the progress and the constraints. The distribution of
the comic books to children will be monitored through the receipt for each book distributed.

13. SUSTAINABILITY
Environmental conservation activites proposed under project will help in developing the information centre. Local
corporate sector will be involved in continuing efforts. There are plans to develop ecotourism sites to improve the
economy of local communities. Part of the revenue will be ploughed back in to the conservation efforts. Mobile
exhibition unit will be maintained by LIF.
