Enhancing siamang conservation through improved protection, law enforcement and research in Bukit Selatan National Park The 356,800 ha Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (BBSNP), established in 1935, protects one quarter of a wider forest ecosystem, the 1,362,566 ha BBS Landscape. Species include Sumatran tiger, Asian elephant and Sumatran rhino, and gibbons. Due to habitat loss and poaching in Southern Sumatra, its only two endangered ape species, the once widespread Siamang (Symphalangus syndactylus) and Agile Gibbon (Hylobates agilis), are now found only in BBSNP and Way Kambas NP, and a few isolated forest blocks. Continuing agricultural encroachment, illegal logging, poaching and illegal wildlife trafficking of apes, weak governance and road construction remain the principal threats to these apes. This grant will support, (1) Prevention of habitat loss for siamang and agile gibbon through patrols with park rangers, particularly targeting areas in the vicinity of roads under high threat of deforestation; and, (2) BBSNP management planning for siamang and agile gibbon conservation through enhanced research.

Protection of Sumatran Orangutan Populations and their Habitats in the Western Part of the Leuser Ecosystem, Aceh Province, Indonesia Among the significant locations for orangutans in Aceh, three places stand out as important: Ketambe, Suaq Belimbing and Soraya. All three have good populations of orangutan and all have important Research Stations for the Leuser Ecosystem. Forum Konservasi Leuser (FKL) manages Ketambe and Soraya Research Stations, while Suaq Belimbing Station is managed by Yayasan Ekosistem Lestari. All three stations are threatened by encroachment, illegal logging and illegal hunting. FKL has established a protection system for these research stations and the surrounding forest area called the Community Patrol Team (CPT). CPTs conduct patrols to look for forest destruction and poachers, and also participate in forest restoration activities. The CPTs require USFWS support to enhance their training and expand their patrol and forest restoration activities. The objectives of this project are the following: (1) Training of Community Patrol Teams; (2) Equip and support Community Patrol Teams; (3) Community patrols and reduces illegal activity; and, (4) Forest restoration in orangutan habitat.
