Summary

Local conservation organisations in Sumatra lack the specific expertise to design and lead strategic, landscape-scale conservation programmes. Through action learning, job shadowing, regular mentoring and ‘helpdesk’ support, SOS and expert trainers will enable two local conservation organisations to strengthen their capacity and skills to: Design and lead strategic conservation programmes to protect, restore and connect critical orangutan landscapes. Effectively engage forest-edge communities in forest-friendly livelihoods which enhance biodiversity and reduce poverty. Set the direction and strategy for their own organisations.
