Tambling Wildlife Nature Conservation

Tambling Wildlife Nature Conservation is a protected area combining forest and marine zones at the southern tip of Sumatra, reserving large spaces for wildlife. The site spans multiple habitats ranging from dense forests to coastal areas.

The conservation area was founded in 1996 and is managed by the Artha Graha Peduli Foundation. A 2008 agreement formally linked it with Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park to strengthen protection efforts.

The reserve combines environmental protection with social programs where people participate in restoration work while protecting the land. Visitors can see how local communities are actively involved in the daily work of conservation activities.

Reaching this remote conservation area requires special arrangements since no public transportation serves the location. This approach helps minimize human impact on the environment.

The site maintains a successful protection program for an endangered big cat species that received international recognition in 2014. This program forms a core part of the daily work and shows tangible results in safeguarding the species.
