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 young orangutan (Kedaung) out on 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. Open Orangutan Sanctuary, near Bukit Tigapuluh, Sumatra, Indonesia. © Daniel Rosengren
