The People of Bukit Lawang: North Sumatra, Indonesia
Uploaded by Films4

Duration: 05:58 Location: North Sumatra, Indonesia.

The film is based in Bukit Lawang, where devastating floods caused over 239 deaths in 2003. The flooding was attributed to illegal logging in the surrounding Gunung Leuser National Park. Since the floods, this village community has been involved in voluntary forest governance enforcement schemes in an attempt to curb illegal logging in the National Park. The community has also started to recognise the important role of ecotourism in the preservation of their surrounding forests.

This film is a co-production between:

This is the second part! Learn about the python who will soon be back into the wild, meet “Dori” and “Inea”, and come with me into the reserve, protected in partnership with One Voice!

English Resume:

I’m at the project to tag the python before releasing him back into the wild. He is 3.10 meters long. But before to leave for the forest, I want you to meet “Dori”, a very young female gibbon. Her mother has been killed by a python and now we have to take care of Dori who lives at the quarantine complex with Inea. Dori doesn’t like contact with humans. She is very different from Inea who has been hand-raised and who loves human contact...

Finally I leave for the forest with the python. The forest is flooded so I have to go with a small boat. We will release the python inside the “Hampapak Reserve” (1000 hectares of good secondary forest) protected by Kalaweit and One Voice.

Voici la suite ! Apprenez à mieux connaître le python, candidat à la liberté, découvrez « Dori » et « Inea » et partez avec moi pour une petite balade en forêt, dans la réserve créée en partenariat avec One Voice !

« Chanee’s Missions », Part 1
This is the first part –each part is 10 minutes long- of the French serial: “Les Missions de Chanee”. This is an exclusivity of this blog for all the Kalaweit friends, so you can watch the daily activities of Kalaweit with a new episode every week during 6 weeks.
This is a French serial, but I will give you a resume in English for each episode, so you can understand it.

English Resume. « Les Missions de Chanee Ep 1, Part 1 »
In Palangka Raya, I get a call from the Kalaweit team at the project. A Python try to kill one of our gibbons, and the team catches him. I need to go to the project to tag the python and release him far away from the project, in the south of the Hampapak Reserve. I have to go to the project with the Kalaweit speed-boat. On the way, impact of the deforestation is clearly visible… Some river gets brown because of the erosion and loggers send the logs all over the river… But the engine stop and I get stuck in the middle of nowhere…
At the project I find the team with the python. Every year 3 to 4 pythons come close to the project trying to kill our animals. This python can easily kill a human and eat a child of 4 to 5 years old. In the past I found a python who was eating a wild pig...
To be continued…

« Les Missions de Chanee », Première partie
Voici le premier volet d’une série que les amis de Kalaweit vont pouvoir découvrir toutes les semaines !
