Rawa Singkil Protects Sumatran Birds

Aceh Singkil Regency authorities in Indonesia maintain the Rawa Singkil Wildlife Sanctuary, a remaining peat swamp forest. The sanctuary spans 81,765 hectares across Aceh Singkil Regency, South Aceh Regency, and Subulussalam City.

It is better known as a habitat for Sumatran orangutans, but also supports diverse birdlife. The area represents a crucial ecosystem within Aceh Province.

The forest’s peat swamp composition creates a unique environment for these birds. Details about specific bird species present remain limited in the article.

Conservation efforts focus primarily on orangutan protection within Rawa Singkil. Further study will reveal the full extent of avian biodiversity and specific conservation needs for the bird populations.
