Wildlife of Sumatra

Sumatra's rainforest is home to an incredible array of wildlife, including the critically endangered Orangutans, Siamang and the Rhinoceros hornbill.

Join us to witness these majestic creatures in their natural habitat and learn about their vital role in the ecosystem.

The Magnificent Sumatran Orangutan

Prepare to be captivated by the Sumatran orangutan, a truly extraordinary primate found only in the lush forests of northern Sumatra. These "people of the forest" are not only rarer than their Bornean cousins but possess unique traits, including longer faces and paler red hair, distinguishing them as a slender and elegant species.

What truly fascinates is their remarkable intelligence: wild Sumatran Orangutans have been observed using sophisticated tools, even expertly crafting pastes from medicinal plants to treat their own wounds - a groundbreaking display of self-medication in the animal kingdom.

Witness their incredible agility in the treetops.

Critically Endangered

Tragically, these incredible creatures are critically endangered, facing severe threats from habitat loss due to logging and conversion of forests for agriculture.

Witnessing them in their natural habitat is a profound privilege, and every trek with us contributes directly to the urgent conservation efforts needed to protect the remaining population of approximately 13,846 members of this magnificent species.
