BACKGROUND
The Fauna Flora
International, founded
in 1903,
works to save
wildlife in
over 40 countries
over 5 continents. Its Indonesia
program
(FFI-IP), established in 2010, is well known as a leading institution in
Indonesia wildlife conservation. The goal of FFI-IP is to conserve Indonesia’s
wildlife population and their
habitat. Since it was initiated, the FFI-IP has been making significant contributions to wildlife contributions in Indonesia by providing advisory assistance on Indonesia conservation issues. Its leading roles in science- based wildlife conservation has been successfully achieved by implementing an integrated science-based
conservation approach including pre-project scientific design, systematic
data collection, data management, scientific-based data analysis, communicating
conservation science through scientific reports and publications, and post project evaluation. For years, the FFI-IP has been able to translate its scientific
findings into effective conservation action through partnerships based on mutual trust and respect with government agencies, universities, local NGOs, and local communities.
FFI is currently having the widest
conservation presence in Northern and Central Sumatra, mostly in protected areas and adjoining habitats. However, recent studies

species richness. FFI recognizes the important of non-protected habitats for key wildlife species and is now
