Aceh Forest

Forests have become an ecological buffer that determines Aceh's future. Protecting Aceh's forests is not just the responsibility of environmental activists or government agencies. It is a shared interest for the entire community.

Leuser Ecosystem

The last place where the four giants still live together. Orangutans, tigers, elephants, and rhinos still share their home in Leuser. Naturally integrated by landscape factors, flora and fauna characteristics, and other unique factors.

About Us

How We Work in Aceh

Vision : The preservation of the Leuser Ecosystem, Forests, Nature and Environment of Aceh which are beneficial to the community in a sustainable manner. We have three pillars : advocacy, empowerment, and monitoring.

Advocacy

Empowerment

HAkA helps communities take control of their own development and management of natural resources. We foster grassroots leadership, build local community associations for a stronger collective voice, and promote sustainable livelihoods.

Monitoring

HAkA continuously monitors forest cover changes throughout the Leuser Ecosystem and Aceh using satellite imagery, drones, and field surveys. We analyze this data to guide conservation strategies, inform stakeholders, and trigger timely field actions.
