Bukit Tigapuluh National Park

The park extends across 143,223 hectares of tropical lowland forest, featuring diverse ecosystems from lowland terrain to mountainous regions with varied vegetation patterns.

Research initiatives funded by Norway in the early 1990s led to the establishment of the protected area in 1995, with subsequent expansion to its current size in 2002.

The Talang Mamak and Orang Rimba indigenous communities maintain their traditional practices within the park boundaries, relying on forest resources for their livelihood.

Access to the park requires a 285-kilometer journey from Pekanbaru via public transportation, followed by local motorcycle travel on unpaved roads with mandatory permits.

The park houses a rehabilitation center where orangutans learn survival skills before their release, resulting in over 160 successful reintroductions since 2001.
