This project seeks to protect a critical 16-hectare parcel on the Tompotika Peninsula of Sulawesi, Indonesia, that occupies a key strategic position in the corridor connecting protected maleo (Macrocephalon maleo, CR) nesting ground to non-breeding forest habitat. This acquisition also safeguards important habitats for species endemic to Sulawesi, including the Tonkean macaque (VU) and Dian’s tarsier (VU). This grant was made under the Preventing Extinction Fund, a joint initiative of QRFN and Rainforest Trust.
