The Wehea-Kelay Landscape is an ecosystem that is an important habitat for orangutans. The Bornean orangutan is a flag species in the Wehea-Kelay Landscape. The Bornean orangutan is the flagship species in the Wehea-Kelay Landscape because this species is the only non-human primate great ape in Borneo.
The forest areas in the Wehea-Kelay Landscape are still in relatively good condition. This can be seen from the condition of the land cover or the status of the forest area. Forest areas still dominate the land cover in the Wehea-Kelay Landscape. The survey results of the Balitek Research KSDA and YKAN Team which were compiled with data from the High Conservation Values/HVC document also show that the presence of primates, carnivores (Carnivora), and ungulates (Artiodactyla) is the most dominant in this region. Other types that have also been identified are from the orders Pholidota and Chiroptera. Primates played an important role in spreading seeds in the forest, thereby helping plant regeneration, especially fruit and plants.
Together with partners and stakeholders, YKAN is working in collaboration to preserve biodiversity and ensure the preservation of the Wehea-Kelay Landscape.
