KERABAT Consortium, Led by YAPEKA work in BBKSDA Riau in collaboration with INDECON and FHK work in a unique area, where the remaining Sumatran tiger population is critically endangered (the IUCN RedList) and coexist with the local human population. This area, known as the Rimbang Baling landscape – with a Wildlife Reserve as its core area – is located in Riau Province, Sumatra Island of Indonesia.  Part of the IUCN ITHCP Phase III supported by KfW, this project’s objective is to help the local community recognize the value of actively conserving Sumatran tigers while simultaneously improving their quality of life.
Conservation of Rimbang Baling Wildlife Reserve (RBWR) requires meaningful participation from diverse stakeholders, for example through conservation and sustainable livelihood aspects. Engaging the management authority, local governments and community who live inside and adjacent to RBWR are essential. Multi-layer collaborative approaches include central government, local government, village government and private sector.
