This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Objective: To assess the impact of logging on Sumatran orangutan behavior and survival. Dr. Serge Wich, who received the 2008 WNPRC Lawrence Jacobsen Conservation Research Award, studied Sumatran orangutans with assistance from students at Universitas Nasional in Jakarta and Universitas Syiah Kualah in Banda Aceh. As a flagship species, the orangutan symbolizes the importance of the rain forest  not only to the apes and the millions of other forest species but also to the people who live near the forests and those of us around the world affected by climate change. Providing opportunities for Indonesian scientists-in-training to become conservation biologists is crucial for the future protection of orangutans and their habitat. The scientists' research focuses on the impact of selective logging on Sumatran orangutan behavior and survival. A better understanding of logging's effect on orangutans is necessary to design reduced-impact logging systems. These managed systems might provide opportunities for the partial extraction of timber while still conserving orangutans and their habitat. While such analysis hasn't been conducted for Sumatran orangutan populations, what greatly benefits these studies is 35 years of scientific data collected at the orangutan research site Ketambe. Important information on orangutan behavior, demography, density and food availability has provided a comprehensive pre-logging database that will be compared with the post-logging data now being collected by Indonesian and non-Indonesian students in collaboration with local field staff. By comparing pre-logging and post-logging data, the researchers can identify any significant changes in orangutan behavior, feeding ecology, survival and density that have resulted from logging. These results will be important for orangutan conservation management strategies. During 2009, the researchers followed as many orangutans as possible from several age-sex classes. In addition, monthly nest counts were conducted along predetermined trails. The assessment of food availability was made each month in about 1400 trees located in 25 plots around the study area. These activities were repeated each month for 12 consecutive months. Publications are pending.

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得了主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 目的：评估伐木对苏门答腊猩猩行为和生存的影响。 博士获得2008年WNPRC劳伦斯雅各布森保护研究奖的Serge Wich在雅加达国家大学和班达亚齐Syiah Kualah大学学生的帮助下研究了苏门答腊猩猩。 作为旗舰物种，猩猩象征着雨林的重要性  不仅对猿类和数百万其他森林物种，而且对生活在森林附近的人们以及世界各地受气候变化影响的人们。为印度尼西亚科学家提供培训机会，成为保护生物学家，对未来保护猩猩及其栖息地至关重要。 科学家们的研究重点是选择性伐木对苏门答腊猩猩行为和生存的影响。更好地了解伐木对猩猩的影响对于设计减少影响的伐木系统是必要的。这些有管理的系统可能为部分木材的开采提供机会，同时仍然保护猩猩及其栖息地。 虽然尚未对苏门答腊猩猩种群进行此类分析，但这些研究受益匪浅的是猩猩研究基地Ketambe收集的35年的科学数据。关于猩猩行为、人口统计、密度和食物供应的重要信息提供了一个全面的伐木前数据库，将与印度尼西亚和非印度尼西亚学生与当地实地工作人员合作收集的伐木后数据进行比较。 通过比较伐木前和伐木后的数据，研究人员可以确定伐木导致的猩猩行为、摄食生态、生存和密度的任何重大变化。这些结果将是重要的猩猩保护管理策略。 在2009年，研究人员从几个年龄性别类别中跟踪了尽可能多的猩猩。此外，每月巢数进行沿着预定的路径。每个月对研究区域周围25个地块中的约1400棵树进行食物可用性评估。这些活动连续12个月每月重复进行。 出版物待定。
