Masyarakat Batas Leuser Foundation

Yamasbale is the Indonesian abbreviation for Yayasan Masyarakat Batas Leuser. We are a non-profit organization based in Bukit Lawang, Langkat Regency, North Sumatra, which aims to protect the Leuser ecosystem, helping shape a sustainable future for people and planet, forever. The Leuser ecosystem is 6.5 million acres of rainforest on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, and the last place on Earth where Sumatran Orangutans, Rhinos, Asian Elephants and Tigers still live together in the wild. The pristine lowland forests, lush peat swamps and cloud-shrouded mountain forests are among the largest remaining intact rainforests in all of Indonesia.
