About OCSP
The Orangutan Conservation Services Program (OCSP) is a USAID funded crisis response program that aims to maximize protection and long-term survival of viable orangutan populations in the wild. The program works to arrest, reduce or possibly eliminate threats to orangutans as well as address the major drivers behind those threats. Main drivers of orangutan habitat loss and population decline include forest conversion, unsustainable logging and wildlife trafficking.

focuses on selected sites with orangutan populations in Sumatra and Kalimantan to address threats at the site level, strengthen conservation practices, enforcement and spatial planning. At the same time as engaging local communities in conservation activities, the program also operates at a broader scale to improve enforcement of existing laws that protect habitat and orangutans; create mechanisms for long term conservation financing; strengthen partnerships and coordination of conservation organizations, private sector, community groups, and Government of Indonesia agencies at all levels; and broaden awareness of issues in orangutan conservation through national and international media and public education campaigns.
