2020: Eco-Research Camp – Tropical Peatland Science Hub

After 3-years of planning and 1.5-years of construction, RER’s Eco-Research Camp was completed and 48 RER staff took occupancy. The Eco-Camp also provides guest housing for 16 visitors, offering researchers and corporate stakeholders access to the remote wetland wilderness on the Kampar Peninsula and a detailed understanding of APRIL’s production-protection landscape approach.

In December, RER team supported the Government of Indonesia with the release of Corina, a critically endangered female Sumatran tiger in Kampar Peninsula and successfully tracked her movements and behaviour for 5-months using a GPS collar.
