Situated in North Sumatra and Aceh provinces, The Leuser Ecosystem covers almost two million hectares. It is probably the last place in the world where one can find elephants, rhinos, tigers, clouded leopards and orang utan living in same area.

However, population encroachment, massive logging and others pressure are a constant danger to this unique ecosystem and make strong conservation efforts an urgent necessity. The project aims to conserve the Leuser Ecosystem by establiching an expanded Leuser National Park, while simultaneusly helping to develop surrounding areas and creating intermediate buffer zones.

To achieve this, the project aims to:
1. stabilize wildlife areas and reduce conflict

2. develop appropriate economic activities and infrastructure around the periphery, including eco-tourism

3. carry out an applied research and monitoring programme, and
