🗺️ Three Zonation System

Tanjung Puting National Park is managed under a three-zone system to preserve its fragile environment while welcoming responsible travel.

1. Nucleus Zone The core habitat containing rare wildlife and plants. Visitors are strictly prohibited, ensuring a safe haven for researchers and rangers only.

2. Buffer Zone Surrounding the core zone, this area acts as a protective shield. Visitors can explore specific trails here only when accompanied by a licensed national park ranger.

3. Utilization Zone The entry area where offices, ranger stations, docks, and eco-houseboat moorings are located. It serves as the basecamp for starting your wilderness tours.
