Sumatran orangutans and elephants are extremely vulnerable to IWT, and demand for these species is high and well-documented. Our project will enhance the Acehnese provincial legislative framework, and agencylevel capacity for effective application of IWT laws. Furthermore, we will increase presence and efficacy of on the-ground protection responses to tackle IWT across the Leuser and Ulu Masen Ecosystems, and strengthen how human-wildlife conflict, as a driver of IWT, is mitigated while fostering Acehnese community-led and traditional wildlife protection.
