The Orangutan Tropical Peatland Research Project works to protect one of the most important areas of tropical rainforest in Borneo - the Sabangau Forest in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. We monitor the distribution, population status, behaviour and ecology of the forest's flagship ape species, carry out biodiversity and forestry research, and work with local partners to implement conservation solutions.

Our research and eco-volunteer program is a focus for conservation efforts, provides much-needed employment and financial benefits for the local community and has replaced illegal logging as the main activity and source of income in the northern Sabangau Forest.
