“…Animal-based tourism has been implemented in Indonesia, especially for flagship species such as orang utan, the Javan rhino [15], the Sulawesi bear cuscus [5], the monkey [6], and Sulawesi endemic primate [7]. It is generally developed on forest land cover.…”

“…Mammals have been used as ecotourism destinations in many countries [4], but only limited studies and research results have been conducted on this topic in Indonesia. Some research related to WBE, especially mammals, only includes Sulawesi bear cuscus [5], monkey [6], and Sulawesi endemic primate [7]. Furthermore, for the study area of oil palm plantations, the topic of study regarding mammals is more in the aspects of behavioral ecology, species richness, management, abundance, genetics, distribution, and occupancy [8].…”

Indonesia is the largest palm oil-producing country, with a plantation area of 16.38 million hectares. Only a little is known about the prospects for the value of environmental services from oil palm plantations, partly due to the assumption that oil palm plantations harm the environment and biodiversity. RSPO and ISPO certification are efforts to reduce the negative impacts caused by oil palm plantations. High Conservation Value (HCV) is one of the requirements for RSPO certification to create sustainable oil palm plantations. Amid climate change mitigation efforts, remnant forests such as HCV areas can potentially have environmental service values as ecological tourism. We analyze data and information from several oil palm plantations in Sumatra and identify potential HCV areas of oil palm plantations as unique interest ecotourism objects, especially mammals that are known as charismatic and interesting tourism objects and destinations. We found that the HCV area of oil palm plantations in Sumatra has a significant potential for environmental service value to be developed as a wildlife-based ecotourism (WBE) destination. This effort is beneficial economically, ecologically, and socially.
