IUCN conservation status
The Sunda Pangolin (Manis javanica) is now listed as a Critically Endangered species by the IUCN.
To secure the future of pangolins through integrated conservation: establishing safe sanctuaries and breeding programs, empowering local communities, and driving scientific research and policy advocacy.
Our first concrete step is to neutralize threats on Tebing Tinggi Island, providing a secure ecosystem and establishing the region's first wildlife medical facility.
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 residents 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.
The first phase focuses on the peat swamp forests of Tebing Tinggi Island, Riau. Once this pilot program is successful, this methodology is expected to replicate security in other high-risk habitats across the nation.
Our first step is to ensure all technical infrastructure and field preparations are in place before major operations begin.
The physical execution phase. We begin building the protection infrastructure and expanding our "eyes" in the forest.
How our strategic field initiatives translate into measurable direct impact for wildlife conservation and the well-being of surrounding communities.
The systematic and strategic deployment of camera traps to monitor the entire 25,248 hectares of the Tebing Tinggi concession, operating 24/7.
Provides a deterrent effect and direct detection of illegal incursions into hard-to-reach habitat corridors, effectively closing surveillance gaps currently exploited by poachers.
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.
Establishes the first safety net for the Sunda Pangolin in Riau, providing medical intervention and first aid for injured, displaced, or confiscated individual animals.
Transitioning local community members into certified "Forest Ranger" roles through training in field navigation, data collection, emergency wildlife handling, and communication & reporting.
Replaces irregular income sources with a stable career, while promoting long-term local stewardship and creating economic resilience for villagers.
Implementing permanent field protocols for continuous data collection and technical assessment of pangolin distribution maps, activity patterns, and habitat use within the peatlands.
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."
A great mission requires a solid team. We are supported by multidisciplinary experts, ranging from ecology and wildlife medicine to strategic operations, ensuring every step is grounded in expertise and dedication.
