  • Orangutan di Indonesia | FORINA

    Orangutans are the only great apes in Asia. Their closest relatives—chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos—are found in Africa. In Indonesia, orangutans are protected under Law No. 32 of 2024 and Regulation P.106/MENLHK/SETJEN/KUM.1/12/2018 on Protected Plant and Animal Species. Globally, they are listed as Critically Endangered by the IUCN due to threats like poaching, illegal trade, habitat loss, and human-wildlife conflict. CITES also lists them in Appendix I, prohibiting any form of trade. Indonesia is home to three species: • Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii ) • Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) • Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus ) According to the 2016 PHVA analysis, only around 71,820 orangutans remain in the wild across Sumatra and Borneo, spread over 51 metapopulations within 17.5 million hectares. • About 57,350 Bornean orangutans live in 16 million hectares, mostly P. p. wurmbii (38,200 individuals) • Around 14,470 orangutans are found in Sumatra Orangutans are crucial to the health of tropical forests. As large fruit eaters, they help regenerate forests by dispersing seeds through their droppings. This makes them an umbrella species — protecting orangutans also safeguards countless other species and the ecosystems they live in. Protecting orangutans means preserving biodiversity and the delicate balance of tropical forests — for wildlife, for nature, and for future generations. Sumatran Orangutan (Pongo Abelii) The Sumatran orangutan (Pongo abelii) is known for its smaller build and brighter, orange-brown hair compared to its Bornean relative. Locally called mawas or maweh, this species can weigh up to 90 kilograms and is found from northern Sumatra to the western area of Lake Toba, including reintroduced populations in the Bukit Tigapuluh landscape. Primarily frugivorous, the Sumatran orangutan benefits from Sumatra’s longer fruiting seasons, which provide abundant food year-round. As a highly arboreal species, it spends most of its life in the treetops—feeding, nesting, and sleeping in the forest canopy. Tapanuli Orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis) The Tapanuli orangutan was once thought to be a population of Sumatran orangutans, until genetic studies revealed a surprising connection: the females in Batang Toru are more closely related to Bornean orangutans. This discovery led to the formal recognition of the Tapanuli orangutan (Pongo tapanuliensis ) as a distinct species in 2017. Found only in the Batang Toru Ecosystem of North Sumatra, this critically endangered species inhabits a limited and fragmented area of around 132,000 hectares. Habitat loss and fragmentation—driven by both natural and human factors—pose serious threats to its survival. With fewer than 800 individuals remaining in the wild, the Tapanuli orangutan is one of the rarest and most threatened great apes on Earth. Bornean Orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus) Genetic studies have identified three distinct subspecies of Bornean orangutans: Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus lives north of the Kapuas River in West Kalimantan and into northeastern Sarawak (Malaysia). Pongo pygmaeus wurmbii ranges from south of the Kapuas River (West Kalimantan) to the eastern side of the Barito River (Central Kalimantan). Pongo pygmaeus morio is found from Sabah (Malaysia) down to the Mahakam River in East Kalimantan. Among them, P. p. wurmbii is the largest in size, while P. p. morio is the smallest. Across Borneo, orangutans are known by many local names—such as hirang, kuyang, maias, kahiyu, kisau, and ulang—reflecting the cultural connection between communities and this iconic species.

  • PHVA 2016 | FORINA

    Strengthening Network Rangkaian kegiatan analisis kelangsungan hidup populasi dan habitat (Population and Habitat Viability Analysis/ PHVA) orangutan sumatera (Pongo abelii) dan orangutan kalimantan (Pongo pygmaeus), dimulai sejak 2015, dan ditutup dengan lokakarya pada bulan Mei 2016 di Bogor, Jawa Barat, Indonesia. Setelah melalui beberapa proses penyutingan, dokumen hasil analisis ini diterbitkan pada 2019. Kemudian, hasil dari PHVA Orangutan 2016 digunakan sebagai acuan utama dalam penyusunan Strategi dan Rencana Aksi Konservasi Orangutan (SRAK) 2019-2029, sebagai pengganti SRAK 2007-2017 yang telah berakhir. Rangkaian kegiatan analisis ini terlaksana atas kerjasama Direktorat Jenderal Konservasi Sumber Daya Alam dan Ekosistem Kementerian Lingkungan Hidup dan Kehutanan Republik Indonesia dengan Forum Orangutan Indonesia (FORINA), Orangutan Foundation-United Kingdom, IUCN SSC Primate Specialist Group, IUCN SSC Conservation Breeding Specialist Group, juga didukung oleh lembaga-lembaga dan para praktisi-pemerhati konservasi orangutan. Berdasarkan hasil PHVA Orangutan, saat ini diperkirakan terdapat 71.820 individu orangutan yang tersisa di Pulau Sumatera dan Borneo (Kalimantan, Sabah dan Serawak) di habitat seluas 17.460.600 hektar. Populasi tersebut tersebar ke dalam 52 metapopulasi dan hanya 38% di antaranya diprediksi akan lestari (viable) dalam 100-500 tahun ke depan. Sejak dikaji pada PHVA 2004 yang lalu, kajian tentang populasi dan distribusi orangutan sumatera (Pongo abelii) yang dilakukan semakin berkembang dan lebih rinci. Popoulasi dan distribusi orangutan sumatera dari yang semula diprediksi ada 6.667 individu, tersebar di habitat seluas 703.100 hektar pada batas ketinggian di bawah 800 m dpl, saat ini populasinya diperkirakan ada 14.470 individu dan menempati habitat seluas 2.155.692 hektar. Saat ini orangutan sumatera dapat dijumpai di habitat sampai dengan ketinggian 1.500 m dpl, tersebar di 10 metapopulasi. Dari 10 metapopulasi tersebut, hanya dua populasi di antaranya yang diprediksi akan lestari (viable) dalam waktu 100-500 tahun kedepan, itupun di lokasi pelepasliaran di Jantho (Aceh Tenggara) dan Bukit Tigapuluh (Jambi). Lain di Sumatera lain pula di Borneo. Saat ini orangutan borneo (Pongo pygmaeus) diperkirakan terdapat 57.350 individu, menempati habitat seluas 16.013.600 hektar yang tersebar di 42 kantong populasi. Sekitar 18 individu di antaranya diprediksi akan lestari dalam waktu 100-500 tahun ke depan. Kondisi ini memperbaharui fakta 10 tahun lalu yang menyebutkan bahwa populasi orangutan borneo diprediksi sekitar 54.817 individu pada habitat seluas 8.195.000 hektar. Selain itu, terdapat juga populasi orangutan borneo yang hidup di satu bentang alam yang habitatnya saling terhubung dengan Malaysia, yaitu populasi dari sub-jenis Pongo pygmaeus pygmaeus yang ada di metapopulasi Taman Nasional Betung Kerihun - Batang Ai-Lanjak Entimau, Taman Nasional Klingkang Range-Sintang Utara serta Taman Nasional Bungoh - Hutan Lindung Penrisen. Untuk itu, perlu adanya kerjasama konservasi orangutan dan habitatnya antara Indonesia dan Malaysia untuk melindungi populasi ini. Berdasarkan kajian kelangsungan hidup populasi (Population Viability Analysis/PVA), angka minimum populasi orangutan kalimantan yang dapat bertahan dalam suatu habitat adalah 200 individu dengan kemungkinan kepunahan kurang dari 1% dalam 100 tahun, kurang dari 10% dalam kurun waktu 500 tahun. Dan, dibutuhkan 500 individu untuk menjaga kualitas dan variasi genetika. Dari segi habitat, banyak metapopulasi orangutan kalimantan yang terfragmentasi dan membutuhkan koridor agar terhubung dengan metapopulasi lainnya. Kondisi populasi orangutan yang menurun ini menunjukkan peningkatan ancaman kelestarian orangutan dan habitatnya, sebagai akibat dari konversi hutan yang merupakan habitat orangutan. Selain itu, tingginya frekuensi aktivitas penyelamatan (rescue) dan konfiskasi juga menambah deret ancaman terhadap kelestarian orangutan. Oleh karena itu, perlindungan kawasan konservasi kebutuhan serius disamping juga penerapan praktik-praktik pengelolaan terbaik (best management practices) di dalam wilayah konsesi yang menjadi habitat orangutan.

  • Kolaborasi Multispesies | FORINA

    Strengthening Network Together for Wildlife: A Collaborative Landscape Approach Orangutans, elephants, tigers, and rhinos are iconic wildlife species that reflect the richness of Indonesia’s biodiversity. But across the landscape, they face growing threats—from habitat loss and land-use change to poaching and human-wildlife conflict. These species are known as umbrella species, meaning that protecting them also safeguards countless others and the ecosystems they share. Many of these species overlap in the same forest landscapes—especially in Sumatra—making an integrated conservation approach not just necessary, but powerful. In 2019, FORINA (Indonesian Orangutan Conservation Forum) initiated a collaboration with two other national conservation forums—Forum Konservasi Gajah Indonesia (FKGI) and Forum HarimauKita (FHK)—to explore joint action across shared habitats. This multi-species collaboration began with mapping key population pockets where orangutans, elephants, tigers, and rhinos coexist. These include: 1. Western and Eastern Leuser, Aceh–North Sumatra: A stronghold for Sumatran orangutans, tigers, elephants, and rhinos—home to important orangutan metapopulations like Leuser Barat, Rawa Tripa, Singkil, Batu Ardan/Siranggas, and Sikuaping. 2. Jantho and Bukit Tigapuluh: Habitats shared by Sumatran orangutans, elephants, and tigers. 3. Batang Toru, North Sumatra: The only known habitat of the Tapanuli orangutan, which also supports Sumatran tigers. Together, FORINA, FKGI, and FHK identified eight joint initiatives to move from coordination to action: 1. Shared Species Database: A unified system to track in-situ and ex-situ populations. 2. Education & Awareness: Outreach through workshops, social media, exhibitions, and campaigns. 3. Corridor Feasibility Studies: Mapping and planning safe wildlife movement routes. 4. Early Warning Systems: Developing local models to reduce human–wildlife conflict. 5. Collaborative Patrols: Engaging communities and rangers in joint habitat protection. 6. Compliance Monitoring: Supporting permit holders in meeting biodiversity obligations. 7. Law Enforcement Capacity: Strengthening institutional ability to protect wildlife. 8. Recognition & Acknowledgement: Highlighting contributions from individuals and organizations driving conservation efforts. In Kalimantan, FORINA has expanded this approach by mapping orangutan habitats along with other keystone species—such as proboscis monkeys, rhinos, elephants, and clouded leopards—to better understand ecosystem connectivity across regions. Beyond these forums, collaboration continues to grow with conservation partners and civil society groups, especially in joint education and public awareness programs. This multi-species collaboration marks a new chapter for FORINA—bridging conservation efforts across species and landscapes. We’ve also worked closely with the Directorate of Conservation Planning to help integrate the presence of threatened species and habitats into national land-use and spatial planning discussions. It’s a big step toward a future where wildlife conservation is truly connected—across species, sectors, and landscapes.

  • Egretta Chocolate

    Egretta Chocolate Silahkan buka halaman situs web ini pada ponsel anda. Anda Baru Saja Terhubung dengan Rumah Orangutan Anda Baru Saja Menyentuh Sebuah Lanskap Terima kasih sudah memindai kode ini. Cokelat yang Anda pegang tumbuh di Mahakam Hulu, Kalimantan Timur. Di lanskap yang sama, jauh di atas tanah, di antara cabang dan daun, hidup Orangutan Kalimantan. Setiap sore, mereka menyusun sarang baru dari ranting dan daun. Setiap musim buah, mereka berpindah mengikuti pohon yang berbuah. Induk orangutan akan menggendong, mengajari, dan menjaga anaknya selama bertahun-tahun sebelum ia siap hidup sendiri. Semua itu terjadi di kanopi hutan yang mungkin belum pernah Anda lihat, tetapi kini Anda terhubung dengannya. Orangutan adalah primata arboreal terbesar di dunia dan satu-satunya kera besar yang hidup alami di Asia. Kerabat dekatnya, gorila, simpanse, dan bonobo, hanya ditemukan di Afrika. Di Indonesia terdapat tiga spesies orangutan, yaitu Orangutan Kalimantan, Orangutan Sumatra, dan Orangutan Tapanuli. Sebagian besar hidupnya berlangsung di atas kanopi hutan, tempat mereka bergerak dari pohon ke pohon dan membangun sarang baru hampir setiap malam. Sekitar 60 hingga 70 persen makanan orangutan berasal dari buah, dilengkapi daun muda, bunga, kulit kayu, dan serangga. Ketergantungan yang tinggi pada hutan membuat mereka sangat sensitif terhadap perubahan lanskap. Saat ini populasi orangutan menghadapi tekanan besar akibat deforestasi, fragmentasi habitat, kebakaran hutan, serta perburuan dan perdagangan ilegal. Dengan siklus reproduksi yang sangat lambat, dimana individu betina melahirkan hanya setiap enam hingga delapan tahun, kehilangan satu individu saja dapat memengaruhi masa depan populasi dalam jangka panjang. Orangutan dan Hutan yang Saling Menjaga Orangutan bukan sekadar penghuni hutan. Mereka bagian dari proses yang membuat hutan tetap hidup. Biji yang mereka jatuhkan tumbuh menjadi pohon. Pohon yang tumbuh menyediakan pakan dan tempat bersarang. Siklus itu berlangsung pelan, alami, dan saling terkait. Ritme hidup orangutan juga pelan. Induk orangutan melahirkan sekitar setiap enam sampai delapan tahun. Setiap individu berarti. Setiap kehilangan membutuhkan waktu lama untuk pulih. Menurut International Union for Conservation of Nature, seluruh jenis orangutan berstatus Critically Endangered (Kritis). Tekanan terbesar datang dari perubahan dan penyusutan habitat. Ketika hutan berubah, masa depan merekapun ikut berubah. Saat Hutan Terpecah Hutan tidak selalu hilang dalam satu waktu. Ia sering terbelah perlahan, menjadi bagian-bagian kecil yang terpisah. Bagi orangutan, jarak yang terbuka di antara petak hutan bukan sekadar ruang kosong. Itu adalah batas yang sulit dilalui. Pergerakan mencari pakan menjadi lebih jauh. Kesempatan bertemu pasangan menjadi lebih kecil. Kelompok kecil menjadi lebih rentan terhadap gangguan. Dalam jangka panjang, fragmentasi melemahkan daya tahan populasi. Yang dibutuhkan bukan hanya hutan yang tersisa, tetapi hutan yang saling terhubung. Upaya Menjaga Lanskap Tetap Terhubung Di Mahakam Hulu, sebagian masyarakat mengembangkan sistem agroforestry kakao di bawah naungan pohon. Lahan dikelola tanpa membuka hutan alam, menjaga struktur vegetasi tetap berdiri. Kolaborasi FORINA dan Egretta mendukung pendekatan ini sebagai bagian dari strategi konservasi berbasis lanskap. Penghidupan diperkuat, tutupan pohon dipertahankan, dan tekanan terhadap habitat dapat ditekan. Konservasi tidak terjadi di ruang terpisah dari kehidupan sehari-hari. Ia hadir dalam cara lahan dikelola, dalam keputusan produksi, dan dalam pilihan yang kita buat. Anda Bagian dari Rantai yang Lebih Besar Produk yang Anda nikmati terhubung dengan sistem pengelolaan lanskap. Sistem itu menentukan apakah pohon tetap berdiri dan apakah orangutan masih memiliki ruang untuk bergerak. Masa depan orangutan dibentuk oleh banyak keputusan kecil yang terjadi setiap hari, di banyak tempat. Di kanopi hutan, sarang baru akan kembali dibangun malam ini. Harapannya sederhana, agar pohon yang menopangnya tetap ada. Terima kasih telah meluangkan waktu untuk mengenalnya lebih dekat.

    Strengthening Network We actively strengthen the orangutan conservation network through collaboration at regional, national, and international levels. Together with our partners, we create a strong synergy to ensure that orangutan preservation efforts are effective and sustainable. Collaboration at the National and Regional Levels At the national level, FORINA is actively engaged in developing policies, campaigns, and advocacy programs that promote the protection of orangutans. By collaborating with various stakeholders, we strive to ensure that these policies genuinely reflect the real needs of conservation efforts on the ground. At the regional level, we collaborate with conservation forums and government bodies to develop conservation strategies tailored to local conditions. Meetings held in regions such as Aceh, North Sumatra, West Kalimantan, Central Kalimantan, and East Kalimantan—where orangutan habitats are located—serve as vital platforms for discussing the challenges and opportunities in our efforts to protect these remarkable creatures. Building Networks at the International Level On an international scale, we foster connections with global institutions and organizations to share knowledge, technology, and resources. This collaboration aims to enhance the effectiveness of orangutan conservation in Indonesia, ensuring that best practices from around the world are effectively implemented here. Forum-Based Activities Our initiatives, including Focus Group Discussions (FGDs), aim to address pressing challenges such as human-orangutan conflict. These gatherings provide a valuable opportunity for stakeholders to come together, engage in open dialogue, share their insights, and collaboratively craft effective, participatory solutions. By strengthening networks at multiple levels, FORINA ensures that every step in orangutan conservation is carried out in an integrated manner, engaging all relevant stakeholders.
