Save the Rainforest, Save the Orangutan
Imagine a place where you can still find orangutans, tigers, elephants, gibbons, sun bears and other charismatic and exotic Asian animals. That place is Bukit Tigapuluh in Sumatra, Indonesia, and Perth Zoo is working to make sure it remains that way.
Protecting Sumatra’s Wildlife
Specially trained Wildlife Protection Units patrol the rough and rugged forest terrain to secure the forests against illegal activities, conduct wildlife surveys and collect information about potential threats.
Kids and Community
Education is a vital component in the conservation of the Bukit Tigapuluh Ecosystem Protection Program in Sumatra, Indonesia.
