What is Bukit Lawang Ecotourism?
Bukit Lawang Ecotourism was established in 2014 and has become SUMECO media wing to promote tourism in Bukit Lawang, North Sumatra through social media such as Facebook and Instagram. Its main objectives are to empower the local community in Bukit Lawang through sharing knowledge, conservation efforts, and creating environmental background community. Referring to the definition of ecotourism, which is defined as environmentally friendly tourism activities, is encouraged to produce tourism activities related to the nature conservation as well.
We serve responsible biodiversity exploration through jungle treks, study trips, herping, and many more activities in Bukit Lawang. We expect this effort provide positive impacts on the environment. Promoting responsible tourism has been our priority, especially since we are a conservation-based ecotourism business in Bukit Lawang through our central focus to fund SUMECO (Sumatra Ecoproject). Visiting Bukit Lawang through responsible tourism is a must, and avoiding getting too close to the animals will be one good example.

How Does Bukit Lawang Ecotourism Spend Its Profits?
The word ecotourism is often used by many parties, but when we look at its definition, we have to be honest and say that it’s not something in common or easy to realize. We are here still trying; at least hundreds of animals have been rescued through our company profits by our wildlife conservation mission in SUMECO (Sumatra Ecoproject), following huge demands for what is supposed to be done according to ecotourism itself.
Since 2014, we spent our time getting to know more and more about how ecotourism could be implemented in Bukit Lawang, which finally led us to establish our conservation-based ecotourism through SUMECO (Sumatra Ecoproject). SUMECO through its ecotourism business established in Bukit Lawang, North Sumatra, Indonesia, has been trying its best to save wildlife around Gunung Leuser National Park.
Large sums of company profits have been distributed to fund SUMECO (Sumatra Ecoproject) wildlife conservation mission (animal rescue). That’s the reason why Bukit Lawang Ecotourism, as the main funder of SUMECO through its own media in promoting tourism, has been respectfully placed in SUMECO domain. This all-encompassing concept was born in 2009; Bukit Lawang Ecotourism was founded in 2012; and SUMECO (Sumatra Ecoproject) was founded in 2014, both by Bobi Handoko. It takes more than 10 years for me to create a strong concept between conservation and ecotourism in Bukit Lawang, North Sumatra, Indonesia.
