    The Orang Utan Republik Education Initiative (OUREI) held a series of education events on

    November 9 and from 14-17 November, 2006 in Berastagi and Medan, North Sumatra,Indonesia. Output from the events and federal funding will be used in 2007 to deliver

    strengthened and coordinated adult education programs on Sumatra where the species is

    critically endangered.

    Billed as the Sumatran Orangutan Education Conference, Workshop and Summit (CWS), the

    event was OUREIs first major undertaking with the Indonesian government and local

    orangutan and conservation organizations to develop curriculum standards to address the killingof orangutans on the island of Sumatra where only approximately 7,000 exist within 11 habitat

    blocks. Orangutans continue to be destroyed as pests in plantations and in logging concessions,

    killed to obtain their infants as pets for the black market, and marginalized by large scaledevelopment projects that reduce and fragment their remaining rain forest habitat.

    A half dozen organizations formed the Secretariat or in-country organizing committee,including the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP), the Sumatran Orangutan

    Society (SOS), the Leuser International Foundation (LIF), the Orangutan Caring Clubs of

    Indonesia (Jakarta and North Sumatra), Fauna and Flora International, and the Ministry of

    Forestrys PHKA. Funding for the CWS came from a diverse group of international orangutan,great ape and conservation foundations and funds, including the Australian Orangutan

    Project, the Arcus Foundation, the Orangutan Foundation UK, the Shared EarthFoundation, the SeaWorld Busch Gardens Conservation Fund, Save the SpeciesFoundation, the Orangutan Conservancy as well as OUREI and in-kind contributions from

    SOCP, SOS, and LIF.

    The United States Fish & Wildlifes

    Great Ape Conservation Fund is

    providing matching funds for thedelivery of the curricula to targeted

    communities identified earlier during a

    pre-conference workgroup held onNovember 9th at the LIF offices on theNorth Sumatran University campus.

    These targeted communities include

    estate plantations and loggingconcessions, villagers and farmers,

    police and military, and local

    government. The 20 attendees to the pre-conference workgroup came from government,

    university and non-government organizations (NGOs). The attendees also identified key

    concepts which were evaluated during the workshop as presumptive standards. Thepresumptive standards included concepts common and specific to the various target

    communities. For example, one of the common concepts to be understood by all the target

    groups is that it is illegal to buy, sell or possess orangutans as pets. Survey forms werecreated by the Secretariat and used by the invited workshop participants during the CWS.

    Conference

    The one-day conference portion of the CWS was held on November 15, in the resort city of

    Beristagi at the Sibayak Hotel and opened by Mr. Adi Susmianto, Director of Biodiversity

    (PHKA). The CWS was held in the national language of Bahasa Indonesia to enhanceunderstanding by the mainly local participants. Mr. Susmianto discussed the legal framework

    that protects orangutans and other endangered wildlife in Indonesia. Following the Conference,

    Mr. Susmianto traveled to Thailand to help in the repatriation of 48 orangutans stolen from

    Indonesia and used in boxing exhibitions at a Bangkok Safari Park. The animals were returnedto Indonesia the following week after more than 3 years of persistent efforts by international

    NGOs concerned about their welfare.

    OUREIs Chairman and CWS Chair, Dr. Gary Shapiro, followed Mr. Susmianto by

    welcoming the attendees with an orangutan long call and describing OUREIs mission as well

    as the history of the CWS. OUREI co-founder, Inggriani Shapiro, also welcomed the attendeesvia video presentation. Then Dr. Sri Suci Utami, representing the Orangutan Conservancy,

    presented a lecture on the biology and ecology of the Sumatran orangutan. Her discussion onthe natural challenges facing the Sumatran orangutan led well into Hardy Baktiantoros)

    presentation on the threats facing the Bornean orangutan. Mr. Baktiantoro, representing the

    Borneo Orangutan Survival Foundation, illustrated the tremendous challenges facing theorangutan on that island and was

    instrumental in receiving the 48

    orangutans from Thailand. WhileSumatran orangutans are fewer in

    number and face the same impacts

    from palm oil, logging, otherdevelopment schemes, fires, and the

    illegal pet trade, the current rate of

    loss of the estimated 50,000

    Bornean orangutans is probably

    somewhat more severe at thepresent time.

    Problems facing Gunung Leuser

    National Park were presented by

    Mr. Subhan, Section Head ofGunung Leuser National Park. A

    large proportion of all Sumatran

    Two of the ten speakers at the conference portion of the CWS: Dr.

    Ian Singleton and Dr. Sri Suci Utami, both recognized as leading

    scientists in the field or Sumatran orangutan biology and ecology.

    orangutans (25%) are located within the protected boundaries of the national park; however,

    despite the protection on paper, the park has several palm oil concessions within its borders.

    Such challenges highlight the need for education programs to reach local government officialsin addition to those who are directly killing the orangutans.

    Following lunch and a traditional dance, Dr. Ian Singleton, Scientific Director for theSumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP), gave an illustrated presentation on the

    current Status of Orangutan Conservation. Dr. Singleton, who has been studying and conserving

    the Sumatran orangutan for many years, showed why orangutans and great apes are fascinating.

    He went on to explain the need to educate the military and police about the laws protectingorangutans as most of the locally owned orangutans are in the hands of police and military. He

    also explained the work being done to care for the confiscated orangutans at the quarantine

    facility at Sibolangit, the reintroduction efforts at Bukit Tigapuluh, the research and surveyactivities on Sumatra, the distribution of orangutans in the 11 habitat blocks, and the current

    threats to orangutans in several of the most sensitive areas.

    The afternoon program then shifted to effective education programs being presented in the

    field. Madelaine Westwood, Director of the Great Ape Film Initiative (GAFI), gave an

    illustrated presentation on film as an education media in rural areas. GAFI produces and

    distributes films about the great apes in Africa and in Indonesia at no cost to the sponsoring

    organization. One film,Losing Tomorrow, by Patrick Rouxel, depicts the orangutan, diversewildlife and its relationship to the timber industry that has been unsustainably managed in a

    visually compelling documentary. That film was taken on a road-show throughout Kalimantanand Sumatra during 2006 where it was shown to over 1,000 people in numerous villages. Based

    on surveys, 97% of the people enjoyed watching the program while 36% said they were

    interested in protecting the orangutan and 25% felt the film explained the threatened status ofthe forest and wildlife. Another documentary, produced by Cockroach Productions, is a

    training film for workers at palm oil plantations. It explains the laws protecting orangutans, how

    to humanely scare orangutans aware from plantations, and how to notify orangutan rescue

    organizations to safely relocate an orangutan within the plantation. Such films have great

    potential in presenting many of the curriculum standards for the estate plantation target group.

    Panut Hadisiswoyo, representing the Sumatran Orangutan Society-Orangutan Information

    Center, gave a presentation on the organizations Mobile Awareness Unit (MAU), an equippedvehicle that is able to reach the various villages, schools and other remote areas to enable the

    delivery of education and awareness programs. The MAU was used by GAFI in their road-show

    in 2006. Trisna Nando, representing Fauna and Flora International, discussed the various field

    conservation education methods being employed in Aceh targeting peoples affected by thetsunami as well as the devoutly religious. Understanding the culture and the sensitivities of the

    local population is essential for these outreach program to be successful. Finally, Fransisca

    Ariantiningsih, representing SOCP and Yayasan Ekosistem Lestari, presented their outreachand education program. With their MAU, SOCP conducts community visits. They employ film,

    discussions, games and singing to present the themes and concepts to their audiences. Other

    audiences include schools, local stakeholders, government and the general community.

    The evening provided an opportunity to screen several documentaries produced by OUREI

    (Sumatran Orangutan- narrated by Angelina Sondakh (Indonesian); and OUREI, narrated byElise Bailey (English)), Losing Tomorrow, by Patrick Rouxel, and Palm Oil and Orangutans,

    by Cockroach Films. The films were shown in a small theater located at the conference venue.

    Workshop

    The workshop portion of the CWSbegan on the morning of the second

    day (November 16), but it was

    restricted to invited participants.Due to a police operation in the

    Langkat district, the Secretariat was

    advised not to hold the workshop inthe village of Sikoci as planned

    earlier. Instead, the workshop was

    held at the conference hotel in anadjacent meeting room. Surveys

    previously prepared were distributed

    to the workshop attendees who

    completed forms that expressed their

    degree of agreement with thepresumptive standards. Each

    workshop attendee filled in fourforms specific to each of the target communities. By the end of the morning, the first phase of

    the workshop was completed. The survey forms were collected and participants left the hotel

    following lunch to take the bus to Medan for the second phase of the workshop the nextmorning.

    The workshop wrap-up session was held at the Emerald Garden Hotel in Medan during the

    morning of November 17. During the evening of November 16 and until 4:00 am on November17, data was entered into a computer and analyzed by Mr. John Page, IT volunteer for OUREI.

    The results of the survey analysis were presented to the workshop attendees by Panut Hadisiswoyo

    (SOS) and Fransisca Ariantiningsih (SOCP). Strong agreement for all the presumptive standardswas revealed in the analysis for all the target communities. Attendees were assigned to four

    workgroups to discuss the results for each target community and to develop recommendations topresent to the Summit attendees later in the day. Workshop attendees worked vigorously to craft

    recommendations that reflected the issues of each specific target community. Those specific issuesand recommendations were presented by workgroup leaders to the entire workshop assembly.

    Following lunch and Friday prayers in this mainly Islamic community, the workshop attendees led

    by Panut Hadisiswoyo, concluded by crafting the CWS Declaration and Commitment to bepresented at the Summit. Specific elements of this important document were discussed and edited

    until the entire group was satisfied.

    Summit

    The afternoon Summit was opened by Dr. Gary Shapiro, OUREI Chairman, who thanked andwelcomed the Summit delegates with his signature orangutan long call. A presentation of the

    issues, workshop results and recommendations for each target community was made by Fransisca

    Ariantiningsih. Then Marifatin Zahrah, from the Forestry Department of the University of North

    Sumatra, read the Declaration andCommitment of the Sumatran Orangutan

    Education Conference, Workshop and

    Summit of 2006 for Saving the Speciesthrough Education and Outreach (The

    English version of this document is located

    in the appendix of this report). In addition

    to recognizing numerous aspects of theplight of the orangutan, laws protecting the

    species, and the need to educate thepopulous, the document concludes by the

    undersigned attendees of the CWS

    accepting the recommendations for the

    education curricula crafted by theworkgroup and committing to delivering

    the curricula to the target audiences starting

    in 2007.

    This concluding document was an essential element of the set of objectives initially put forth tothe US Fish and Wildlife in the grant proposal. Over 100 attendees signed the document whichwill also be signed by the various high officials in Jakarta who could not attend the Summit due to

    other obligations taking them out of country during the CWS.

    Following the signing of the document, the Summit was closed by Arfan Setiabudi, police

    official from the Langkat district, who recognized the importance of the meeting and thecommitments that it produced.

    The Declaraton and Commitment is read during the Summit.

    Press Conference & Awards Dinner

    A press conference was convened to provide the print, radio and television media with access to

    key participants to the CWS. Later in the evening, an

    awards dinner was held during which time OUREIChairman Dr. Gary Shapiro acknowledged the

    Secretariat with certificates of appreciation for their

    outstanding work as well as key personnel who spentsignificant time organizing the events. A presentation

    was also made to the teenage winner of the OUREI

    poster contest who flew in from Bali to accept theaward and recognition. A ceremonial presentation

    was also made to the winner of the Orangutan Caring

    Scholarship awarded

    earlier in 2006 by SOSand OUREI. Finally, the

    prestigious Pongo Awards were presented. One was presented to Mr.

    Soedomo Mergonoto, owner of the Excelso Caf chain, for hissignificant support of OUREI. Mr. Ridhwan Effendi also accepted a

    Pongo Awardfor himself, for overseeing the creation of the Orangutan

    Caring Clubs of Indonesia, and on behalf of Angelina Sondakh, OUREIAmbassador who could not attend the Summit. Ms. Sondakh, Former

    Miss Indonesia and Member of Parliament, has enabled OUREI to

    become a national organization with influence in the media and at thehighest levels of government. A Pongo Awardwas also awarded earlier in the week to Minister of

    Forestry M.S. Kaban for his officially declaring Orangutan Caring Week in November 2005.

    Because Minister Kaban could not attend the CWS, Mr. Adi Susmianto received it on his behalf

    during the conference.

    Followup The Best is Yet to Come!!

    One of the most significant aspects of the CWS was that it was locally organized by Indonesians on

    Sumatra and Java and held in the Indonesian language. By encouraging local orangutan andconservation NGOs to work together to organize and execute the CWS, OUREI was able to unite

    these groups in a common mission to develop a set of curriculum standards for outreach and

    education programs to targeted communities throughout the range of the Sumatran orangutan. It is up

    to the Indonesian people to take on this challenge. OUREI will continue to support them during theimplementation of the federal grant period. This consortium

    of organizations will remain active as they develop the list

    of priority communities, certify that their education

    materials meet the curriculum standards, and delivery theprograms to the targeted communities starting in 2007. In

    this way, limited resources can be effectively applied andmonitored in an integrated program that will reduce the

    levels of ignorance and fear among those people who are in

    conflict with the critically endangered orangutan. The

    expectation is that the level of killing will be reduced inareas where this curriculum is delivered.

    The prestigious Pongo Awards OUREI

    Mr. Soedomo receives award.

    The team of NGOs representing groups on the

    organizing committee are recognized. OUREI

    Sumatran Orangutan Education Conference, Workshop, and Summit-

    Proclamation & Commitment of 2006 to Save the Species

    Through Education & OutreachWe, the concerned attendees of the Sumatran Orangutan Education Conference, Work-shop, and Summit (CWS) Proclaim and Recognize the importance of the orangutan as

    one of Indonesias national treasurers;

    Considering Indonesian Law No 5 year 1990 chapter 21, the Sumatran Orangutan is a

    protected species, and therefore, it is prohibited to catch, hurt, kill, keep, transport, and

    trade orangutans live or dead anywhere orangutan exists;

    Realizing the Sumatran Orangutan is critically endangered due to a variety of causes

    including dramatic habitat loss and the illegal killing of orangutans treated as agricul-

    tural pests and for other reasons and to obtain infant apes for the illegal pet trade;

    Understanding that despite national and international laws and regulations protecting

    the orangutan, the population of the species continues to be in decline with fewer than

    7,000 animals remaining; therefore, if there is no urgent action, Sumatran Orangutans

    in the remaining habitat will be extinct within next 10-15 years (PHVA, 2004);

    Understanding that educating those people in direct conflict with the Sumatran Orangu-

    tan is vitally important to end the killing, particularly those who are unaware of the laws

    and regulations protecting the species, their specific impact on the population, and al-ternative methods to reduce or avoid conflict;

    Understanding that education programs and outreach techniques described and ana-

    lyzed during the CWS can increase awareness of all stakeholders including local com-

    munities, law enforcers, and plantation/concession companies and be a valuable long-

    term solution towards increasing the likelihood of long-term Orangutan survival;

    Realizing that co-operation amongst multi stakeholders is an essential condition to the

    success of education and awareness programs; therefore, we demand the local and cen-

    tral government to play an active role to enhance and implement the Sumatran Orangu-

    tan Education Program;

    Appreciating the efforts of various organisations who have been concerned about the

    conservation of Orangutans and that have developed education programs to improve

    community awareness about the Orangutan and its plight;

  • 8/9/2019 CWS Report

    10

    Highly applauding all parties who have provided funds and support enabling the

    CWS and the delivery of targeted education curricula to local communities where

    orangutan/human conflict exist;

    Therefore,

    We, the undersigned delegates of the CWS, on this day, 17 November 2006, as part

    of Orangutan Caring Week, hereby Accept the Recommendations of Education Cur-

    ricula made to us by the CWS Working Group, and Commit to a schedule of deliv-

    ery of those Curricula during 2007.

    AcknowledgementsThe Orang Utan Republik Education Initiative

    (OUREI) would like to thank numerous individualsand organizations that supported the Sumatran

    Orangutan Education Conference, Workshop, and

    Summit (CWS). Dr. Ian Singleton (SOCP) is thanked

    for providing the initial idea to address orangutan

    conservation by creating a workshop focusing on adult

    education and to serve as co-applicant with OUREI on

    the successful proposal to US Fish & Wildlife.

    OUREI also thanks Fred Bagley, of US Fish &

    Wildlife for supporting the concept of the CWS and

    providing guidance during the implementation of the

    grant (under the Great Ape Conservation Fund).

    OUREI recognizes the help of Russell Jensen and

    Jennifer Hoffman of the Social & EnvironmentalEntrepreneurs (SEE) for providing nonprofit

    administrative support as OUREIs parent NGO.

    OUREI also is appreciative of the matching

    financial support provided by the Australian

    Orangutan Project (AOP). Leif Cocks, AOP President,

    committed significant funding early on for the CWS.

    We are also grateful to have received significant

    funding from the Arcus Foundations Great Ape Fund.

    Ashley Leiman and the Orangutan Foundation UK is

    to be thanked for providing significant support of the

    CWS. Much appreciation is given to Caroline Gabel

    and the Shared Earth Foundation and to Eric

    Raymond of the Save the Species Foundation.

    SeaWorld Busch Gardens Conservation Fund is alsoto be thanked for their support. OUREI is also grateful

    to Norm Rosen and the Orangutan Conservancy

    (formerly BOS-USA) for financial support of the

    CWS. Finally, we appreciate the significant in-kind

    contributions given by SOCP, Sumatran Orangutan

    Society and Leuser International Foundation.

    OUREI was joined by our Indonesian partners in

    providing in-country planning and coordination for

    the CWS. The Secretariat, consisting of

    representatives from a half-dozen other NGOs, was

    formed with SOCP as the lead local NGO. Thanks

    must be given to Susilo Sudarman who insured that

    the Secretariat met frequently during the planningphases. Franscisca Ariantiningsih of SOCP also

    participated in some of the planning and was key

    during the CWS. Panut Hadisiswoyo of SOS needs to

    be acknowledged for his significant involvement with

    the CWS including providing quality translation

    services and group leadership during all phases of the

    CWS.

    We would also like to thank the other members of

    the Secretariat representing LIF, Fauna & FloraInternational, and Club Peduli Orangutan Indonesia.

    Particular thanks go to Mike Griffith of LIF, Diding

    Ichsan of FFI, and Nirwan Junidea of CPOI for their

    involvement at the various meetings.

    Particular thanks also goes to Madelaine

    Westwood of the Great Ape Film Institute (GAFI)

    for traveling from London to attend the conference

    and provide valuable input towards the education

    process developed by the CWS attendees. All

    attendees to the CWS are thanked for their

    participation which was extremely valuable to its

    success.

    OUREI volunteers also provided significantsupport towards the success of the CWS. Dan

    Benveniste participated in a couple planning

    meetings of the Secretariat during his visit to

    Sumatra in July 2006. John Page provided

    tremendous support in operating the audio-visual

    equipment and developing the data analysis routine

    to enable the workshop results to be displayed during

    the next day summit.

    Acknowledgement must also be given to Rusly

    and Indrawati of Jakarta for providing

    accommodations and transportation for me during

    my planning visits in Jakarta.

    We very much appreciate the support of the

    Indonesian Ministry of Forestry, particularlyMinister M. S. Kaban who officially declared

    Orangutan Caring Week last year and who intended

    to participate in the CWS. Director of Biodiversity,

    Adi Susmianto is thanked for his attendance on

    behalf of the Minister.

    We also wish to thank Angelina Sondakh,

    OUREI Ambassador, and her staff, particularly,

    Ridhwan Effendi, for providing coordination for the

    CWS in Jakarta.

    We also thank Elise Baily and Hengki Koentjoro

    for producing video materials used during the CWS.

    Their professional quality productions were very

    much appreciated by everyone in attendance.Finally, as lead organizer of the CWS, I would

    like to take this opportunity to recognize all the

    volunteers of OUREI who have supported our efforts

    over the past two years and to my wife, Inggriani and

    son, Jason, who have provided me with

    unconditional love and support of my passion for

    orangutans. - Gary Shapiro
