Sumatra // Bukit Tigapuluh Conservation Programme

Photos: Stephanie Rahn; Daniel Rosengren/FZS

The Bukit Tigapuluh Landscape Conservation Programme has grown from an orangutan reintroduction project into a large scale conservation programme that includes Sumatran elephant conservation, community development, education and forest protection. The Bukit Tigapuluh landscape is a biodiversity hotspot and our goal is to preserve its beauty, its wildlife and its importance as a functional ecosystem for future generations.

  • A pregnant female orangutan, Violet, seen near the Sumatran Orangutan Rescue Centre, near Bukit Tigapuluh, Sumatra, Indonesia. Orangutans like this one, have been taken care of from being illegally kept in captivity. They get trained by FZS trainers in a so called Jungle School where they learn how to survive in the rainforest. When they are ready, they are released into the wild. © Daniel Rosengren
  • A young orangutan (Kedaung) carried out by trainer Siti Fatimazzahra to jungle school. Before being released, orangutans need to learn several skills so they can survive better. They learn to stay up, away from the ground (where tigers may roam), what can be eaten and climbing skills.
