Wetlands International Indonesia Programme

This flat reserve includes riverine swamp forest, peatswamp forest and open grassland along the Sugihan river and Paperback swamp forest; it also supports diverse wildlife including the endangered white-winged wood duck. Although inland, the area is under the influence of a diurnal tide with one high and one low tide per day. As a result of a cancelled transmigration program, the reserve contains 92 km of primary (15m wide) and 670km of secondary ( 2-3m wide ) canals. Two big rivers lie inside the reserve - Air Sugihan and Air Padang. Principal vegetation: Riverine swamp forest, peatswamp forest, and open grassland along the Sugihan river and Paperbark swamp forest. The peatswamp forest is the main forest type in the reserve characterized by Shorea, Alstonia, Dyera, Gonostylus and Oncosperma. The understory is dominated by Licuala palms.

Site Location

The reserve lies 45km northeast of the provincial city Palembang, approximately 35km from the coast, on the eastern plain in south eastern Sumatra, within Sumatra Selatan province. Boundaries follow the Air Sugohan and Air Pandang rivers in the east and west, respectively, and drainage canals in the north and south. The city of Palembang lies some 40km to the south west while reserve headquaters lie within the western reserve boundary near Sebokor. Access is by boat from Palembang.

Special Memmo

By December 1982, 232 Sumatran Elephants were driven into the area; an elephant translocation of this magnitude had never before been attempted in Indonesia. Present data suggest that current elephant population numbers have not changed much, if at all, f
