Awareness Campaign among Internal Workforce
1) Habitat Loss - Human Encroachment
Illegal Logging by external people.
Local communities farming in the conservation area (HCV 1 – 4)
Fire – Area is predominantly Dry Land forest and we do have 3 -4
months of drought during certain years
Isolation /Fragmentation due to estate development
Expansion of Mining of Zircon and Gold by local communities
2) Human Activities leading to Disturbance
Human disturbance during breeding season
Heavy metals from mining activities
Road constructions crossing conservation areas can also
disrupt species migration particularly aboreal species.
Threats on
HCVs –
Human
Intervention
yielded a population density of 0.81 – 1.07 orangutans per km2, which gives an estimated population of 32 – 42 individuals for the MSM HCV areas of 3,972 ha.
A more Intensified Study On Orang Utan Population 2010)
14 Transects 1 transect= 1 KM
51% of the nests identified were nest class 1 and 2, indicating that the nests were built within 4 months of the survey and therefore giving sufficiently high likelihood that the orangutan population is still present.

Letter of Rejection from one of the Local Community around PT
MSM area.
It alleged that the HCV area is not recognized by the Law of Indonesia
Communities only see the HCV values that is of value to them. They don’t quite understand that HCV 5 (social HCVs) also overlaps with other HCV values within the same area (HCV 1,3 and 4)
They are not used to be told on what to do with this forest. Some of their practices like extracting of timber, farming (shifting cultivation) can harm other HCVs presence within same area.
Local communities also practices mining for Gold/Zircon (unlicensed).
Why is Orang Utan so important?
Suspicion on company’s interest in doing conservation. Whats their motive?
Illegal Mining for Gold and Zircon
1) Conduct population survey and census of threatened species based on
nest counts or sighting
2) Monitor habitat quality, food plant, closed canopy cover . Need to make
scoring and produce a matrix for rehabilitations
3) Detect and confirmed the presence of migratory birds and look for key
species.
4) Study the aquatic populations of rivers where heavy activities of illegal
mining operates. (E.g predatory insects and algae)
5) Study the level of agrochemical pollutants of drains such as Nitrates and
Phosphates leading into conservation areas.
6) Study of level of BOD/COD and suspended solids from Mill and its
effect on water quality and presence of aquatic organism
7) Monitor the capacity of surrounding local community to manage their
resources.

Wilmar International became the first company to adopt No Deforestation, No Peat and No Exploitation in its operations worldwide, including those of its subsidiaries, any refinery, mill or plantation that we own, manage, or invest in, regardless of stake And All third-party suppliers from whom we purchase or with whom we have a trading relationship.
Today, another 7 Oil palm players operating in Borneo and Sumatra have signed up to a similar initiatives of No Deforestation No Peat.
Their commitment as a responsible grower ‘We commit to no deforestation and protecting peat land. We will drive positive socio-economic impact for people and communities in the plantations we own and manage. This commitment extends to smallholders and out-growers, whether contracted or independent from whom we source FFB and/or other palm products.
No Palm Oil is not an Option. Palm Oil is the most productive edible oil seeds known to mankind and has been around for 5,000 years.
Palm oil has a yield that is 11 times higher than other oil alternatives : if the US was to abandon palm oil, any alternative would generate a very strong need of new cultivated land on the planet How are we going to feed 9 billion people by 2050 if we exclude palm oil?

Support Palm Oil Players that subscribed to RSPO P & C and those who have add
on policy of No Deforestation, No Peat and No Exploitation
These are players who are committed to sustainability and will extend this commitment to their suppliers.
To oil players, avoid operating in an Orang utan biodiversity hotspot if you can. If you cant then be prepared to invest in time and resources to address the impact of the operations in order to be sustainable.
Sustainability has become

no longer an option!
