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.

Aceh Deforestation

The accumulation of deforestation in Aceh over 35 years is estimated to have reached more than 700,000 hectares. This continuous deforestation has significantly increased the frequency of flooding in Aceh.

Protecting Leuser, Safeguarding the Future

HAkA exists because Aceh's beautiful yet fragile forests need a voice. They need defenders. They need protectors. They need action. HAkA's passion and strong determination are reflected in every action taken to protect the forest and all its contents. In essence, protecting the forest and all its contents is for the well-being of humanity as well.

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.

HAkA advocates for policy change, raises public awareness, and challenges unwise development projects. We advocate for policy reform at the provincial, district, and local levels to secure the long-term environmental sustainability of the Leuser and Aceh Forests.

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.

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.
