Our Partners

TaHuKah is a newly established Indonesian NGO with the mission to implement large-scale, community-based programmes in priority rainforest landscapes in Sumatra. TaHuKah does this by bringing together Indonesian staff members with significant local expertise (including rainforest conservation, anthropology, village planning and facilitation, biodiversity and mapping) in order to synthesise different motivations and competing values within the landscape. The organisation represents a unique combination of skills and expertise.

Co-founded by SOS in 2001, Yayasan Orangutan Sumatera Lestari, also known as the Orangutan Information Centre, has a vision closely aligned to our own. Over the last 20 years YOSL has expanded from a small team of volunteers to a broad-based field operation working in the Leuser Ecosystem and Batang Toru. Its projects now range from forest regeneration and human-wildlife conflict mitigation to sustainable livelihoods and supporting wildlife law enforcement.

Founded by Darma, a local forest guide, Nature for Change works with communities around the eastern border of the Gunung Leuser National Park.  The organisation’s aim is to achieve harmony between local communities and the protected area and its wildlife. NfC’s locally-driven programmes include forest rehabilitation by local farmers, community anti-poaching patrols, and they promote sustainable agriculture and income generation. 

HePI (Healthy Planet Indonesia) integrates conservation and health care through community-based projects, with a mission to break the cycle between poverty and illegal logging in Indonesia.
