Why ?

THE OBJECTIVE

ANTI-POACHING PATROL

The anti-poaching patrol Green Patrol monitors and guards an important area with exceptional biodiversity, which consists of critically endangered animals such as sloths, Malayan bears, orangutans, elephants and especially Sumatran tigers.

The patrol mainly specializes in Sumatran tigers, both in the form of monitoring with the help of camera traps, and also in resolving tiger conflicts in relation to tiger attacks on farm animals.

Field patrols are a matter of course for the purpose of uncovering illegal activities in the given area in the form of destroying traps and passing on the knowledge gained to the competent authorities.

Patrol ACTIVITIES

MONITORING

Monitoring takes place in the territory of Bohorok and the adjacent part of the Gunung Leuser National Park, where audio-visualmonitoring of tigers takes place in the form of camera traps under the name Eye ofthe Tiger.

Part of the monitoring is the detection of poaching in the protected area in cooperationwith community and state rangers.

‍Between 2015-2020, eleven Sumatran tigers were monitored here, including a newgeneration of tiger cubs. This area is therefore extremely interesting for the monitoringand protection of Sumatran tigers.

TIGER INCIDENTS

From 2018 to 2020, Green Patrol helped resolve conflicts involving tigers preying on livestock, particularly cows, outside Gunung Leuser National Park. To address this, they used deterrents and funded the construction of high enclosures where cattle could be safely kept at night.

Five enclosures were built, and these measures are still effective today. Additionally, Green Patrol ran an information campaign to educate villagers on changing farming practices near the national park and how to safely coexist with tigers.
