Impact Report

Establishing the Safety Net

How our strategic field initiatives translate into measurable direct impact for wildlife conservation and the well-being of surrounding communities.

Key Driver

Technical Security Network

The systematic and strategic deployment of 20 initial camera traps to monitor the entire 25,248 hectares of the Tebing Tinggi concession, operating 24/7.

Real Impact

Provides a deterrent effect and direct detection of illegal incursions into hard-to-reach habitat corridors, effectively closing surveillance gaps currently exploited by poachers.

Key Driver

Dedicated Pangolin Shelter

Activation of a 40 m² facility built on Tebing Tinggi Island, designed to serve as a center for education, field research, and emergency rescue operations.

Real Impact

Establishes the first safety net for the Sunda Pangolin in Riau, providing medical intervention and first aid for injured, displaced, or confiscated individual animals.

Key Driver

Capacity Building

Transitioning local community members into certified "Forest Ranger" roles through training in field navigation, data collection, emergency wildlife handling, and communication & reporting.

Real Impact

Replaces irregular income sources with a stable career, while promoting long-term local stewardship and creating economic resilience for villagers.

Key Driver

Data Collection Protocol

Implementing permanent field protocols for continuous data collection and technical assessment of pangolin distribution maps, activity patterns, and habitat use within the peatlands.

Real Impact

Transforms raw observation data into a valid scientific information source, effectively closing missing information gaps and serving as a guide for broad-scale area management.

Tebing Tinggi Island serves as our pilot location. Through certified forest rangers and meticulous data collection, we will build a security system that can be applied to all pangolin habitats across the country.
