Gunung Leuser National Park (Aceh)

 As citizens of the Indonesian nation must Gunung Leuser National Park where we should be proud, so elegant, beautiful and fascinating. Last bit of the history of Mount Leuser National Park that I can say on this article:
In the 1920's Dutch Colonial Government gave permission to a Dutch geologist named FC Van Heurn to examine and explore oil and mineral resources are estimated to numerous in Aceh. After doing research, Van Heurn stated that the area under study is found to contain large mineral and stated that the local indigenous leaders want them to care about the ranks of heavily wooded mountains in Gunung Leuser.
Instead, Van Heurn discuss the results of the meeting and offered to the representatives of traditional leaders (the Datoek and Oeloebalang) to urge the Dutch to give the status of protected areas (Wildlife Sanctuary). After discussions with the Dutch Commission for the Protection of Nature, in August 1928 a proposal was submitted to the Dutch Colonial Pemeintah the proposed Nature Reserve in West Aceh area of ​​928 000 ha and providing protection status for the region stretching from Singkil (at Simpang Kiri River upstream) in the South , along the Bukit Barisan, towards the valley of the River Tripa Swamp Beach and Meulaboh, on the north.
The proposal was finally realized with the date of February 6, 1934 with the holding of meetings in Tapaktuan, which was attended by representatives of traditional leaders and the Dutch colonial government. The meeting produced the "Declaration Tapaktuan", which was signed by representatives of indigenous leaders and representatives in Aceh Governor of the Dutch East Indies at that time (Gouverneur van Atjeh en Onderhoorigheden, Vaardezen). The declaration came into force from the date of January 1, 1934 ((Deze regeling treedt in Werking meth ingang January 1, 1934). Declaration reflects the community's determination to melestarian Aceh Leuser region as well as set up for all of its criminal sanctions (both criminal fines and imprisonment). In one paragraph Tapaktuan Declaration stated as follows:
"We Oeloebalang of landschap Gajo Loeos, Poelau Nas, Meuke ', harbor Hadji, Manggeng, Lho' Pawoh Noord, Blang Pidie, and Bestuurcommissie of landschap Bambel, Onderafdeeling Gajo and Alas.

In 1934, under No. ZB. 317/35 dated July 3, 1934 established the Mount Leuser Nature Reserve (Wildreservaat Goenoeng Leoser) with an area of ​​142 800 ha. The next in succession in 1936, under No. ZB. 122/AGR, dated October 26, 1936 Kluet Wildlife Refuge was formed of 20,000 ha which is the Gunung Leuser Nature liaison with the West Coast.

Gunung Leuser in North Sumatra Province is 213 985 ha which is a combination of South and West Langkat SM, SM Sekundur, and Sekundur Park.
