The Orangutan Conservancy’s philosophy\u00a0is\u00a0that no single project alone can ever possibly solve all of the issues that\u00a0orangutans face in their daily battle\u00a0for survival.<\/span><\/p>\n

We believe in strategically supporting complimentary yet unique projects that together offer pragmatic solutions to orangutan conservation.\u00a0 Our project support\u00a0encompasses several areas, including\u00a0orangutan scientific research efforts, rescue and rehabilitation centers, in situ workshops, educational programs and other endeavors that together can achieve much for our forest friends.<\/span><\/p>\n

OC is\u00a0pleased to welcome the well-respected Orangutan Information Centre (OIC)<\/a><\/strong> \u00a0in Medan, Sumatra as a new project that we are now helping to\u00a0 support. Specifically, we have just funded their important Human Orangutan Conflict Response Unit (HOCRU) project that is consistently achieving\u00a0impressive results in North Sumatra and Aceh.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Orangutan Information Centre (OIC) is an Indonesian organization founded in 2001 by a group of dedicated local conservationists for the conservation of Sumatran orangutans and their rainforest habitat. The OIC restores degraded forests, responds to and mitigates human orangutan conflicts, conducts environmental awareness visits to schools and villages, conduct forest patrol, and provides training to help local people work towards a more sustainable future. The OIC\u2019s programs are conducted by Indonesian conservation professionals from conservation science, forestry and environmental education backgrounds. They have been working on community-based conservation, sustainable development, and forest restoration projects for 15 years, involving more than 20,000 local people throughout the provinces of North Sumatra and Aceh in the development of Conservation Action Plans and establishing sustainable livelihoods that are compatible with the conservation. With nearly one and half million tree seedlings planted across North Sumatra and Aceh, they have extensive experience in conducting forest restoration, environmental education and sustainable development program.<\/em><\/p>\n

In 2010, OIC established their Human Orangutan Conflict Response Unit (HOCRU) to tackle the human orangutan conflict fueled by agricultural expansion. This unit is responsible for investigating and mitigating conflict between farmers and orangutans. The team patrols throughout North Sumatra and Aceh, evacuating orangutans from conflict situations and providing training for agricultural communities around the Leuser Ecosystem in safely dealing with human orangutan conflict, helping them protect their crops without harming wildlife. They have successfully conducted the rescue and evacuation of a total of 89 orangutans from conflict situations and assisted the people living adjacent to these areas in mitigating and preventing the effects of conflict. This shows a positive impact on orangutan conservation, as before the HOCRU program began, orangutan conflict issues were simply not being addressed by any agencies.\u00a0 The HOCRU is the only specialist unit in Sumatra addressing the HOC problem, and administering direct, immediate help to these critically endangered apes in conflict situations. HOCRU serves as a \u2018safety net\u2019 in response to the ongoing problem of orangutans being displaced from their shrinking forest homes.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n
