Developing long-term solutions to the biggest threat to apes in Sebangau, Borneo: peat fires The Sebangau Forest is the largest remaining lowland forest on Borneo, and supports the worlds largest protected population of the critically endangered Bornean orangutan and the largest known population of the endangered Bornean white-bearded gibbon. Despite formal protection, these populations remain at high risk, with peat forest fire identified as the primary threat to the areas apes. Fire in Sebangau is associated with peat drainage from ex-illegal logging canals and is often started by fisherfolk operating in the area. The project has the following objectives: (1) Prevent fire through peat rewetting, leading to higher peat water tables and decreased fire incidence; (2) Address the underlying causes of fire; and, (3) Establish the basis for "pro-conservation society" development through local youth education, leading to changes in understanding and attitudes towards ape and peat-forest conservation.
