Strengthening law endorcement for the protection of the Critically Endangered Sumatra orangutan in Singkil peat swamp forest, Aceh Singkil Wildlife Sanctuary (a peat swamp forest) is home to the important Critically Endangered Sumatra orangutan. The Sanctuary has an extremely high conservation value because it contains one of the highest known orangutan densities (1.75 individuals/km2). Despite this, both for the Sumatra orangutan population and peat swamp, Singkil is currently under threat due to agricultural clearance for oil palm, fires and illegal logging. This proposal aims to address all of these threats by strengthening the law enforcement for protection of the orangutan population and its peat swamp habitat. This will be combined with awareness activities through assisting the communities around Singkil in mitigating human-wildlife conflict. The project has the following objectives: (1) Reducing forest encroachment, illegal logging, and other threats in key orangutan habitat in Singkil Wildlife Sanctuary; and, (2) Mitigating human wildlife conflict (particularly orangutan) around Singkil Wildlife Sanctuary and increasing awareness of the community on the importance of Singkil as orangutan habitat.

Protecting the Eastern Hoolock Gibbon in Indawgyi Biosphere Reserve, Myanmar Indawgyi Wildlife Sanctuary has the high density of Eastern Hoolock gibbons. Two of the major threats to the gibbons in this location are habitat degradation and fragmentation caused by illegal logging and illegal firewood extraction. These activities are possible as law enforcement in this area is weak and is a poor deterrent to crime. The project's immediate goal is to aid implementation of the Indawgyi Biosphere Reserve management plan (2018-2022), from which all project activities described here derive. Specific project objectives are to: (1) Improve gibbon habitat protection through effective collaborative protected area management and collaborative patrolling; (2) Reduce forest degradation and fragmentation through the development of alternative livelihoods (in particular through community forestry, agroforestry, fuel-efficient stoves); and, (3) Monitor forest cover and status of Eastern Hoolock gibbons in the Indawgyi Biosphere Reserve.

Increasing conservation impact in four priority Sumatran tiger landscapes "The purpose of this project is to greatly improve the management systems that operate in five national parks that cover 3.16 million hectares. This will be done by introducing the globally- recognized Management Effectiveness Tracking Tool (METT) to assess protected area management effectiveness (in 2014 and retrospectively in 2011). It will use METT to identify management constraints and priority needs that will be addressed in subsequent strategic plans. The project will also review the current implementation of SMART in each national park, identify areas for improvement, which will be addressed through refresher training, and improve coordination and sharing of experiences between national parks and with the central government. Specifically, the project will (1) facilitate the active involvement of the Ministry of Forests and/or HarimauKita in 4 tiger landscapes; (2) conduct a gap analysis of the 4 tiger landscapes; (3) develop a strategy document for future tiger activities in each landscape; (4) train 20 masters trainers in METT; (5) conduct 10 METT analyses; (6) identify management capacity through baseline METT assessments of the parks; (7) train 15 master trainers on SMART; (8) train 40 rangers in SMART patrolling; and (9) identify law enforcement needs in each of the parks. ."
