Bukit Lawang, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in the northern jungles of Sumatra. Understand[edit] Bukit Lawang is a small village situated 90 kilometers northwest of Medan, the capital city of North Sumatra, Indonesia. It is the most famous site to easily spot semi-wild orangutans near convenient tourism facilities. In 1973 a Swiss organization set up an orangutan rehabilitation center in Bukit Lawang. The purpose of the center was to rehabilitate orangutans released from captivity. The rangers at the center teach the orangutan all the necessary skills to survive in the wild. The orangutan is released back into the jungle after an intense period of quarantine, readjustment to the natural habitat, and reintegration into the semi-wild population. After that, all released orangutans are still monitored by the rangers and are still provided with supplementary food at the feeding platform until they become fully self-reliant. Out of this project, the Sumatra Orangutan Conservation Programme SOCP was founded. With the arrival of the rehabilitation center more and more tourists find their way to Bukit Lawang and it becomes one of the most popular destinations in Sumatra. A flash flood hit Bukit Lawang on 2 November 2003. As this was witnessed the tidal water wave was approximately 20 meters high, as it came crashing down the hills, wiping out everything in its path. The disaster, which was the result of illegal logging, destroyed the local tourist resorts and had a devastating impact on the local tourism industry. Around 400 houses, 3 mosques, 8 bridges, 280 kiosks and food stalls, 35 inns, and guest houses were destroyed by the flood and 239 people 5 of them tourists were killed and around 1,400 locals lost their homes. After eight months of rebuilding, Bukit Lawang was re-opened again in July 2004. Especially the young generation is hoping to rebuild the village in a more sustainable way, than before and they are very aware of the importance of preservation of the fragile ecosystem they live in. They can use all the support and the income of tourism will help them in the realization of their ideas for a brighter future for Bukit Lawang. Get in[edit] By plane[edit] Airports, [x].
