Protecting Bornean Orangutans in Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park, West Kalimantan, Indonesia through education, community development and Customary Law Critically Endangered Bornean orangutans declined by 82% between 1950 -2015. Between 1999 and 2015, over 100,000 orangutans were lost. In Kalimantan, on average 2,256 orangutans are illegally hunted every year because of conflict or for consumption, and many infants are kept as pets. Since 2009, Yayasan IAR Indonesia has rescued over 250 orangutans from the pet trade and human wildlife conflict, and rehabilitated them for release back into the wild. However, community engagement and support is vital to protect these animals in the wild and their habitat. Project objectives include, (1) Encourage behavioral change in the communities surrounding Bukit Baka Bukit Raya National Park (BBBRNP) to reduce the hunting pressure in the national park. This will be achieved by implementing strategies based on socio-anthropological, cultural and economic factors that have been found to influence hunting in this region; (2) Evaluate the long term impact of orangutan reintroduction on the biodiversity of BBBRNP; (3) Implement community development projects in villages surrounding BBBRNP; and, (4) Support the BBBRNP authorities through forest patrolling and capacity building of the patrol team.
