Animal rescue program around Gunum Leuser National Park

We are in a complicated struggle between wildlife conservation and the vital needs of local people. Many families doesn´t have another way of subsisting and they opt for illegal hunting of protected species, to sell them and support themselves. Other times they only do it for the pleasure of having them as a pet and in more serious cases they are sold on the Asian black market.
We work in collaboration with the Gunung Leuser National Park Forest Police and the BKSDA Environment Department to rescue and release them.

The project also has an educational part of some of these hunters, who become part of the work program in the sustainable tourism sector.

And the more important activitie is our future Animal Rescue Center were we can offer a new life for somme of them
If you like you can participate in some of the activities in the form of volunteering (ethological study, control and monitoring, reforestation, children's environmental education).
