Yayasan Gajah Sumatera

What Yayasan Gajah Sumatera does

Yayasan Gajah Sumatera is an Indonesian non-governmental organization headquartered in Medan, Indonesia, founded in 2001 by Bambang Suprayogi, who continues to serve as Founder and CEO. The organization is focused on Sumatran elephant habitat conservation, with a stated programmatic scope that extends to broader habitat conservation, climate mitigation, and adaptation services. The name translates to "Sumatran Elephant Foundation," reflecting the species-specific conservation mandate at its core.

The organization reports a headcount range of 5,001–10,000, which — for a conservation NGO of this type — likely reflects a large field-and-community-based workforce including volunteers, community rangers, and seasonal staff rather than purely full-time paid employees; the input data does not break down the composition. Source material beyond the firmographic profile is sparse: the organization's website (yagasu.or.id) appears as a loading/verification page in the captured source, and no product catalog, technology stack, donor portfolio, programmatic metrics, or financial disclosures are present in the input. No subsidiaries, parent entities, funding rounds, M&A activity, regulatory actions, or named partnerships are recorded in the supplied data.

As a non-profit operating in the environmental conservation sector, the implied revenue model is grant-and-donation funded, drawing on bilateral/multilateral aid, institutional philanthropy, and potentially Indonesian government or provincial funding — but no specific revenue mechanics, pricing, or funder information is disclosed in the source. Customer-facing services (in the NGO sense, "beneficiaries" and "funders") and a go-to-market motion are not characterized in the input. The single available source ID governs nearly all factual statements in the supplied data.

Direct peers

• Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP): Indonesia-based NGO focused specifically on Sumatran orangutan conservation through habitat protection and rescue. Closely comparable to YAGASU as a regional, species-and-habitat-focused conservation NGO operating in the same Sumatran landscape.
• Yayasan Konservasi Alam Nusantara (YKAN): Indonesian-affiliated conservation foundation (formerly TNC Indonesia) focused on marine and terrestrial habitat protection across Indonesia. Closely comparable as a locally rooted, mission-aligned Indonesian conservation NGO.
• Yayasan Orangutan Sumatera Lestari (YOSL): Small Indonesian conservation NGO focused on orangutan rescue, rehabilitation, and habitat protection in Sumatra. Highly comparable to YAGASU as a Sumatra-based, species-and-habitat-focused conservation foundation of similar scale.

Broad incumbents

• WWF Indonesia: Large, established international conservation NGO operating across Indonesia with a broad portfolio that includes species and habitat protection in Sumatra. Comparable as a high-scale, mission-aligned conservation organization with similar donor-driven funding model.
• The Nature Conservancy (Indonesia Program): Global conservation organization with active Indonesia operations focused on forest and marine habitat protection. Comparable to YAGASU in mission and target landscape, with a much larger international footprint and budget base.
• Fauna & Flora International (FFI) Indonesia: International biodiversity conservation NGO with operations in Indonesia focused on threatened species and habitat. Comparable as a donor-funded conservation NGO working on overlapping themes of species and habitat protection.
• Greenpeace Indonesia: International environmental campaign organization with an Indonesia presence focused on deforestation, climate, and biodiversity. Comparable as a large, advocacy- and conservation-oriented NGO operating in the same regulatory and donor landscape.
• Conservation International Indonesia: International NGO operating in Indonesia with focus on biodiversity hotspots, including Sumatra. Comparable as a mission-aligned conservation organization working on habitat and climate outcomes in overlapping geographies.
• Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) Indonesia: Global wildlife conservation NGO with a significant Indonesia program addressing species and habitat protection. Directly comparable as a conservation NGO focused on threatened species and forest ecosystems in the same region as YAGASU.

Others

• IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature): Global conservation standards and policy body that convenes NGOs, governments, and scientists on biodiversity and habitat protection. Comparable as an ecosystem participant that influences funding flows and policy frameworks relevant to YAGASU's work.
