IUCN conservation status
The Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica) is now listed as a Critically Endangered species by the IUCN.
We plan to prevent their extinction, starting from Tebing Tinggi Island. We will build a safety net for the Sunda Pangolin by neutralizing poaching threats and providing the first dedicated wildlife medical service in the region.
Our first concrete step is to neutralize threats on Tebing Tinggi Island, providing a secure ecosystem and the first specialized wildlife medical service in the region.
An integrated center for Rescue & Rehabilitation, Community Education, and in-depth Research on the Sunda Pangolin.
A 24/7 area monitoring system accompanied by routine patrols to track wildlife movement and prevent poaching.
Specialized training for local forest workers to become professional forest rangers and pangolin rescuers.
An integrated and systematic approach from the field to the policy level to ensure the survival of the Sunda Pangolin.
A professional workflow for wildlife rescue, recovery, and rehabilitation led by conservation veterinarians and stakeholders to ensure ethical and safe reintroduction into suitable wild habitats.
Transforming local residents into long-term stakeholders in conservation by aligning with local religions and beliefs, through direct community engagement and transparency.
Filling data gaps by conducting in-situ research on population dynamics and behavioral patterns, turning word-of-mouth into scientific facts required for effective conservation.
Translating field data and operational experience into best practices and standardized procedures (SOPs), providing actionable methodologies for governments and organizations to conserve pangolin populations more effectively.
Phase 1 focuses on Tebing Tinggi Island, Riau, Indonesia. Once this pilot program is successful, the methodology is expected to secure other high-risk pangolin habitats across the nation.
Equipment preparation & facility surveying.
3-in-1 facility construction & installation of 20 camera traps.
How our field initiatives translate into direct impact for the conservation of the Sunda Pangolin and surrounding communities.
Deployment of 20 camera traps monitoring 25,248 hectares of concession 24/7.
Provides a deterrent effect and direct detection of violations, closing poaching loopholes.
A 40 m² facility serving as a center for education, research, and rescue operations.
Establishing the first safety net for the Sunda Pangolin in Riau with medical intervention facilities.
Transitioning local communities into certified "Forest Rangers."
Creating stable careers for residents, fostering local independence and economic resilience.
Implementation of permanent field protocols for wildlife mapping and monitoring.
Generating valid scientific information as a clear guide for large-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."
A great mission requires a solid team. We are supported by multidisciplinary experts, ranging from ecology and wildlife medicine to strategic operations.
