To learn more about ESSA’s Maleo Conservation Program

One of ESSA’s commitments to environmental management is reflected in its biodiversity protection program, which supports the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 15 for 2030. This goal aims to protect, restore, and promote the sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, manage forests sustainably, combat desertification, restore degraded land, and halt biodiversity loss through conservation programs.
ESSA has been actively engaged in this conservation effort since 2016 through its ex-situ conservation program for Maleo birds. This initiative involves breeding the Maleo birds outside their natural habitat and then reintroducing them into the wild. To date, ESSA has released 355 Maleo birds, contributing 11% to the global Maleo population, which is considered an endangered species.
