Meet Our Team

Darma

Hello friends, my name is Darma Pinem. I’m a local guide, conservationist, environmentalist and founder of Nature for Change. The Gunung Leuser National Park covers 7,927km2 in northern Sumatra, Indonesia. It is our job to protect the park’s ecosystem and our beautiful sanctuary for our closest genetic relative — the orangutans. I have devoted my life to the protection of the planet’s wildlife and the education of our local community. I work with experts, scientists, NGOs and local community leaders to ensure we build and grow a sustainable future together.

Nayla

Have you ever found family that is not bound by blood, but rather by heart and passion? This is how I feel with Nature for Change. Working with NFC is such an amazing expirience because of its impact to the community and by building a more harmonious forest for human and
wildlife. I provide updates, manage social media, document our activies, and help with our communcation strategy. Kindly please keep supporting NFC and come to Sumatra to see our work with your own eyes.
