OCSP is a USAID-sponsored crisis response program that aims to maximize protection and long-term survival of viable orangutan populations in the wild. The program will work to arrest, reduce, or possibly to eliminate the threats to orangutans as well as address the major drivers behind those threats.
Pemerintah Indonesia telah menunjukkan kepemimpinannya dalam upaya konservasi orangutan dan habitatnya kepada dunia internasional, dengan meluncurkan Strategi dan Rencana Aksi Nasional Konservasi Orangutan Indonesia dalam ajang konferensi untuk perubahan iklim (UNFCCC) di Bali, pada bulan Desember 2007 lalu.
Sebagai tindak lanjut dari rencana aksi nasional tersebut, serangkaian lokakarya multipihak di tingkat propinsi telah dilakukan. Dimulai dari lokakarya di propinsi Kalimantan Barat yang diselenggarakan pada tanggal 7 – 8 April 2008, dilanjutkan dengan propinsi Sumatra Utara pada tanggal 20 dan 21 Mei 2008, propinsi Kalimantan Timur pada tanggal 26 dan 27 Juni 2008, dan propinsi Kalimantan Tengah pada tanggal 12 dan 13 Agustus 2008. Untuk propinsi Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam, lokakarya akan dilaksanakan menjelang akhir tahun 2008.

Indonesia Orangutan Conservation Strategy and Action Plan
Published Date: December 7th, 2007The two species of orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus in Borneo and P. abelli in Sumatra) are classified as “endangered and critically endangered” respectively. Some 7,000-7,500 Sumatran orangutan survive in a much fragmented forest landscape. In Borneo 40,000-50,000 of the animals remain, but are distributed over almost 50 geographically isolated populations. Orangutan populations have been decimated over the past few decades and this decline has accelerated significantly since 1998. If these rates continue, the orangutan will be extinct in the wild before 2050.
In response to the critical condition of orangutan and its habitat in Sumatra and Kalimantan a multi-stakeholder process involving scientists, conservation practitioners, local government and other stakeholders worked under the supervision of the Ministry of Forestry to develop solutions and a plan to ensure a long-term survival of the species. The result was the Indonesia Orangutan Conservation Strategy and Action Plan.
The process commenced with an expert scientists workshop on Population Habitat and Viability Analysis (PHVA) in Jakarta on 2004. It was furthered through multistakeholder meetings in Berastagi, North Sumatra on September 2005, Pontianak, West Kalimantan on October 2005, and Samarinda, East Kalimantan on June 2006. The regional meetings involved representatives of local governments, timber and oil palm industry, community representatives, and other conservation practitioners. A series of meetings in Jakarta and Bogor in 2007, facilitated by the Ministry of Forestry - Directorate of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation (PHKA), the Indonesian Primatological Association (APAPI) and the USAID-supported Orangutan Conservation Service Program (OCSP), finalized the plan, which was signed off on by the Minister of Forestry on 3 December (Peraturan Menteri Kehutan Nomor P.53/Menhut-IV/2007).
The Indonesian Orangutan Conservation Strategy and Action Plan is a courageous step by the government to take the in situ and ex situ management of one of their protected species serious. These are not just words in paper, but they define clear roles and responsibilities for government, business and non-governmental groups. Commitment is required from all of these groups to ensure the plan’s success as is consumer awareness on ways they can help reduce pressure on the world’s natural resources, and financial support from governments and industry.
VISION
Ensure the sustainability of orangutan populations and habitat through multistakeholder partnership
PURPOSE
The Strategy and Action Plan for National Conservation of Orangutans engages stakeholders to define and implement actions that will ensure sustainability of orangutan populations, in line with economic, social, and cultural development.
OBJECTIVES and GOALS
The Strategy and Action Plan for National Conservation of Orangutans guides stakeholders to determine conservation priorities for in-situ (wild) and ex-situ (captive) orangutans and to design programs that enhance viability of the orangutan population over the next ten years.
Goals:
1. By 2017, populations and natural habitats for Sumatran and Kalimantan orangutans remain stable
2. By 2015, captive orangutans are rehabilitated and reintroduced to the wild
3. By 2017, public support for conservation of Sumatran and Kalimantan orangutans and habitats is increased
4. By 2017, local government and business sectors implement good governance that ensures sustainability of orangutan populations and natural resources
5. By 2017, awareness and recognition of wild orangutans is increased amongst all stakeholders.
STRATEGIES
Those objectives and goals will be achieved through five major strategies and programs for:
1. Orangutan Conservation Management
2. Policy and Regulation
3. Partnership Development and Collaborative Management
4. Communications and Awareness
5. Sustainable Financing Mechanism
