Community-based human elephant conflict mitigation and protection of Sumatran elephant populations and habitat through Elephant Response Units in Way Kambas, Lampung Province, Sumatra This project will contribute to the mitigation and reduction of human-elephant conflict (HEC) in local communities surrounding Way Kambas National Park, Sumatra, Indonesia through securing wild elephant habitat, increasing capacity of local communities to respond to HEC, and strengthening coordination between existing networks, institutions, and local stakeholders. Field activities will be conducted by Elephant Response Units (ERU) consisting of 2-5 trained elephants, 6-10 mahouts, and 2-4 forest rangers. Specific activities will include: 1) conducting regular patrols of ERUs to monitor elephant movements, anticipate HEC, and monitor illegal activities and encroachment; 2) providing immediate response to HEC incidents; 3) assisting 18 local communities in developing HEC mitigation capacities; 4) build and maintain a communication network between local communities and the ERU teams; 5) organizing meetings with local communities, conducting community-based crop guarding, and equipping community scouts from each community; and 6) facilitating open meetings and information sharing between local NGOs, officials, and other stakeholders. Collectively, these activities will contribute to the sustainable conservation of the Critically Endangered Sumatran elephant in Indonesia.

Genetic analysis of Sumatran and Javan rhinoceros by Indonesian researchers The two most highly endangered species of rhinoceros are the Javan rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) and Sumatran rhinoceros (Dicerorhinus sumatrensis); both are at very high risk of extinction. Molecular tools can aid in conservation management decisions by providing information on genetic diversity and population structure within and among populations; estimating total and effective population sizes; assessing population viability; elucidating historical and contemporary gene flow patterns and mating systems; and identifying the population of origin of illegal wildlife products. This project will, (1) Conduct molecular genetic analyses of wild Sumatran and Javan rhinoceros. Dung samples collected in the field will be used to establish the species identity, sex, individual identities, kinship, population size and other population characteristics of wild rhinos. These will be determined by molecular genotyping of a collection of dung samples currently stored where the study will be conducted, at the Eijkman Institute for Molecular Biology; and, (2) Project will develop the capacity to store and grow cells will be initiated, which would enable very high quality DNA and enable additional in vitro and genomic studies on a longer-term basis.

Sumatran Tiger Conservation in Ulu Masen, Indonesia, Island Wide Survey Assessment The Leuser-Ulu Masen Landscape in Aceh province, Indonesia, represents a very important forest habitat for the Critically Endangered Sumatran tiger. From 2007-2009, the first ever robust Sumatra-Wide detection/non-detection Tiger Survey (SWTS) following the patch occupancy framework was conducted to estimate the proportion of area occupied by the Critically Endangered Sumatran tiger. After ten years, there is an urgent requirement to reassess the island-wide population to evaluate the implementation of past conservation strategies in different landscapes, including Ulu Masen. The survey result will help the Government of Indonesia and also the Government of Aceh to meet its ambitious National Tiger Recovery Plan (NTRP) target of doubling the number of Sumatran tigers by 2022. This proposal will enable FFI to contribute the Ulu Masen portion of the island-wide survey. Project objectives are: (1) To increase the capacity of government officers on tiger site occupancy in Ulu Masen; and, (2) To conduct and analyze occupancy survey in Ulu Masen landscape.
Saving a new species of Great Ape, the Tapanuli orangutan, North Sumatra, Indonesia With only <800 individuals remaining of the Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis), this newly discovered species is the worlds most endangered great ape. The PanEco Foundations Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) seeks to enhance the conservation of the species last remaining habitat, the Batang Toru Ecosystem, Tapanuli, North Sumatra. The long-term goal of the project is to secure the long-term conservation of the Tapanuli orangutan in its natural habitat. The project has the following objectives: (1) Increased knowledge of Tapanuli orangutan behavior, distribution, status, and ecology; (2) Increased knowledge of threats to orangutan habitat in the Batang Toru Ecosystem; and, (3) Increased stakeholder conservation awareness in key areas around the Batang Toru Ecosystem.
Widening the Net - Combatting Organised Wildlife Crime on Sumatra Island, Indonesia The purpose of this project is to counter wildlife trafficking in the four provinces of central Sumatra that overlay the 5,400 square mile Kerinci-Seblat National Park, by strengthening law enforcement resulting from increased capacity to recognise, address and interdict organised illegal wildlife trade, poaching syndicates and the kingpin traders driving wildlife crime. This project is intended to conserve helmeted hornbill Rhinoplax vigil and Malay pangolin Manis javanica, the trade of which, at a sub-national level on the island of Sumatra, is frequently closely linked to the illegal trade in Sumatran tiger Panthera tigris sumatrae with the same players frequently implicated. The project will primarily focus actions at a species-level to reduce the threat from organised illegal wildlife trade. Specific activities include (1) investigating the illegal trade in helmeted hornbill and Malay pangolin in central Sumatra; (2) maintaining routine SMART forest patrols to address and reduce poaching threats to tigers and other species; (3) strengthening the capacity of the government to address wildlife crime through improved interagency coodination, collaboration with local civil society partners and joint activities between the national park authority and other project partners including the Indonesia National Police.
Sumatran Tiger protection and monitoring in Bukit Tigapuluh, Indonesia The Sumatran tiger is at the brink of extinction. Less than 500 individuals remain in the wild. Immediate on-site action and improved conservation planning are both needed to turn the fate of the Sumatran tiger around. Bukit Tigapuluh represents one of the last retreats of these tiders. The objectives of the project are, (1) To detect and deter poaching of tigers and tiger prey by implementing ranger foot patrols; (2) To support local police and forest police in their law enforcement efforts by providing key information on wildlife crime in the target area; (3) To monitor tigers in key areas by conducting camera trap surveys; (4) To support a collaborative, landscape-wide tiger survey by providing well-trained and experienced rangers and equipment for the field work; and, (5) To support the compilation of a site-specific tiger conservation action plan for Bukit Tigapuluh by assisting in survey data management and analysis.
