About this organization
Mission
Our mission is to protect orangutan populations and forest biodiversity in and around Gunung Palung National Park.
About
Recognizing that most threats to orangutan survival are human induced, we take a multi-faceted community-based approach to orangutan conservation. We have developed a variety of initiatives that enable us to respond to both immediate threats to orangutan habitat (e.g., illegal land clearance) as well as longer-term ones (e.g., attitudes of villagers towards the forest). Central to each of our initiatives is our commitment to partnering with all of Gunung Palung’s stakeholders, including local communities, NGOs, and National Park and other government offices. Our core field staff lives in the communities in which we work and many are native to these communities. GPOCP/YP has therefore become a valued member of the local society, allowing us to effectively identify problems and respond to the concerns and needs of communities. We use solution-based methods to find viable alternatives to human activities that detrimentally impact the forest. Therefore, a very important part of our approach is to provide opportunities for local people to become involved and invested in our programs, which fosters long-term sustainability. We also emphasize capacity building to help villagers, government officials, students, and educators to develop the skills needed to take conservation action on their own.
