		Siberut, the largest island of the archipelago, is home to at least four unique and endangered primate species, all of which depend on the few remaining forested areas for their continued existence.
		The Siberut Conservation Project aims to provide a long term field-based research and conservation center for researchers coming from various specialties (eg primatology, ecology, zoology, botany), within the framework of a socio-economic program aimed at helping local villagers by initially improving transportation means and marketing of agricultural products.
		In close association with traditional land stakeholders, the central objective is to preserve a significantly large area of the strategically located Peleonan Forest and effectively protect substantial populations of the unique, but now endangered, animal and plant species of this area.

	DTE 44 / Feb 2000:
		Siberut provides a vivid example of the way the powerful combination of Indonesia's economic problems and changes to local autonomy and forestry legislation threaten the future of the country's forests and indigenous people.
		The result for Siberut has been a flurry of applications for logging and plantation licences as companies fall over themselves to get their hands on over 200,000 hectares of commercially valuable timber which lies outside the national park.
		For example, head of Siberut national park, Zuwendra, has appointed several more permanent staff on the island (instead of just in the Padang office) and has made clear to the park guards that it is their responsibility to control logging operations by the newly formed 'co-operatives'.

		Thomas has expressed concern that commercial exploitation of the forests in Siberut would lead to destruction of the big trees, such as meranti, kruing, and katuka, and the smaller fruit trees, denying the primates of Siberut not only of shelter, but also of food.
		Siberut was granted that status because it is rich in flora and fauna, including primates, endemic to the island.
		It is expected that the Siberut primates may find security within the 15,000-hectare protected zone, from where they may freely go to the natural park which is located adjacent to Salaki’s area of operation.
