Elimination of poaching
We employ former poachers, from whom we have built a team of conservationists. Thanks to this, we have eliminated the hunting of endangered species in one of the regional buffer zones in the southeast of the Leuser National Park.
"Kukang Coffee" Project
We have created a community of "Kukang Coffee" farmers who respect the ban on hunting protected species of animals, and in return, we buy coffee from them at a price that is profitable for them.
Monitoring of nocturnal wildlife
Thanks to the long-term recording of animals observed on the routes delineated according to a given methodology, we estimate the size of the slow loris populations in the defined area.
Installation of camera traps
Monitoring of wild animals is used to estimate their abundance. Camera traps are an additional monitoring method we use.
“Kukang School” Running
We teach English and environmental education - usually neglected but much needed in Indonesia - to the children of the Bandar Baru community for free in our English-Environmental School called “Kukang School”.
Construction of a school called “School at the End of the World”
We heard the plea of the community of Basukum village and helped them build their own English-environmental school for children, which we also help to run.
Educating students and farming communities in Sumatra
We spread awareness about endangered species and nature in primary and secondary schools as well as in public through lectures and outreach to farmers in several locations in northern Sumatra.
Fighting wildlife traffickers
With the help of illegal wildlife trade investigators, we fight against wildlife traffickers.
The establishment of the “Kukang Centre” for slow lorises in Sumatra
Our base is the “Kukang Centre”, where the “Kukang School”, our office as well as a specialized centre for the rehabilitation of confiscated slow lorises to return them to the wild are located (rehabilitation of slow lorises is currently not in operation).
Building an Indonesian team of wildlife conservationists
We strive to show the Indonesian people how they can professionally protect slow lorises, other wild animals, and nature as such in Indonesia themselves.
Creation of the so-called Slow Loris Arks
Using cooperation to create breeding centres for pygmy slow lorises within modern zoos, we are trying to support the stabilization of a sustainable backup population of this species in human care, the so-called ex situ.
