Bukit Lawang Trust Center

Bukit Lawang Trust Center is rated 3 out of 5 in the category nonprofit organization management. Read and write reviews about Bukit Lawang Trust Center. Our grassroots NGO was established in 2003 after the flash flood that wiped out the village of Bukit Lawang. Since that time we have worked with the community to improve the quality of life and education in the area and to encourage local people to be aware of the need to protect the precious Leuser Ecosystem. We believe in a holistic approach to conservation and through working with local communities we can better protect the natural environment. Bukit Lawang is located next to the magnificent Leuser Ecosystem which is the last place on earth to find tigers, elephants, rhinos and orangutans living together in the wild. We believe that poverty reduction greatly improves conservation efforts and the chances of success, so we work with local communities to improve education, social enterprise and conservation projects to help protect this precious area of the earth. The global green belt is the earth's lungs and we believe we should protect it for future generations.
