Bukit Lawang Trust

We are a Charitable Trust working to enhance the education and employability of the local community in Bukit Lawang, through engagement in environmental and wildlife projects in connection with the endangered Leuser Ecosystem. We believe in a holistic approach to conservation and through working with local communities we can better protect the natural environment. Bukit Lawang is located next to the magnificent Leuser Ecosystem which is the last place on Earth to find Tigers, Elephants, Rhinos and Orangutans living together in the wild. We believe that poverty reduction greatly improves conservation efforts and their chances of success. We work to reduce poverty in and around Bukit Lawang, and in doing so give young people the opportunity to not only survive but thrive in a sustainable lifestyle.
