MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
Dr. Sofyan Tan

Chairman Yayasan Ekosistem Lestari

"Towards reversing this trend, Yayasan Ekosistem Lestari has been involved in various efforts for both people and wildlife, with much of our efforts focused on the massively important Leuser Ecosystem, and also the Batang Toru Forest Ecosystem, which houses a unique population of upland forest Sumatran orangutans – with this area also serving as a vital watershed for surrounding communities.

This again shows the vital importance of our inclusive and comprehensive approach towards conservation. As it can only succeed when communities are aware not just of the impacts we have on the environment, but also the immensely valuable yet free environmental services it provides.

OUR PROGRAMME

WHAT WE HAVE CONCERN

Rainforests like the Leuser Ecosystem are one of the most important natural resources left on Earth. They store billions of tons of carbon.

The unique Leuser Ecosystem is home to thousands of animals that depend on the protection of their habitat for their survival. In fact, Leuser is the last place on earth were the four big mammals of orangutans, tigers, rhinos and elephants still live together. A balanced Leuser Ecosystem is however also of utmost importance to the local communities, since millions of people depend on its rivers to provide fresh water and the irrigation essential for farming.
