The Pesalat Camp is one of the conservation camps in Tanjung Puting National Park. Usually, tourists will pass this camp when trekking to Camp Leakey, Pondok Tanggui, or Tanjung Harapan. This camp is also the favorite place for plant conservation and camping activities because it is quite safe from wild animal disturbances in the Tanjung Puting National Park conservation area.

This area is an area that was impacted by deforestation or forest burning. For this reason, efforts to save Pesalat Camp and the forests in Tanjung Puting National Park as a whole are carried out through reforestation activities. This activity also invites Tanjung Puting National Park visitors to participate and contribute to conservation efforts and maintain the environment so that the endemic animals there do not soon become extinct.

You will be directed and guided to carry out activities to plant various tree seedlings which will be useful for preserving forests at Tanjung Putting National Park. The various types of tree seeds that you will plant are mostly fruit tree seeds which will be useful for providing a food supply for orangutans and other endemic animals there. It’s apart from working to save the natural habitat of orangutans, proboscis monkeys, red langurs and other beautiful animals and plants.
