Field Dispatch · Feb 2026

Three nights in the Leuser Corridor

“We found pugmarks at grid 7-Foxtrot at 03:14. Fresh. She'd been there within the hour. The camera trap caught her — all four paws, full flank, that unmistakable broken-stripe pattern on her left shoulder. Camera 31 had been dark for six weeks. Then she walked back into frame like nothing had happened. I cried into my field notes. I'm not embarrassed to say that.”

The Leuser Ecosystem spans 2.6 million hectares — the last place on Earth where Sumatran tigers, elephants, rhinos, and orangutans share the same forest. Refuge funds 31 patrol routes crossing this landscape, each one staffed by rangers who sleep in the field for weeks at a time.

What your field contribution funds

Every dollar has a
specific address.

We don't do vague “conservation.” Every amount below maps to an exact field action — the kind you could describe to a ranger over a fire.

$15/month

Field Battery

Powers one camera trap for a month

Camera traps are the eyes of every patrol. A single battery keeps a trap running 30 days — capturing proof of life, poacher trails, and recovery milestones.

$50/month

Patrol Rations

Feeds a ranger for one week in the field

Rangers sleep in the forest for 7–14 days at a stretch. Your $50 covers the rations that keep one ranger in the field for a full week — rice, dried fish, electrolytes.

$200/month

Vet Intervention

Sponsors one veterinary emergency response

Snare injuries, mange, and human-wildlife conflict wounds require rapid vet response. $200 funds one full emergency intervention — transport, sedation, treatment, and release.

Your move.

By the time you finish reading this, a ranger in Sumatra is checking a camera trap. What they find next week depends, in part, on whether you were here today.
