Observation on the flora and fauna in Lingga Isaq Hunting Park, with recommendations for a change of status, Lingga Isaq Hunting Park (LIHP) is located in Central Aceh, average 50 km from Takengon City. The LI forest has long been classified as a Hunting Park but there is strong support for changing the status to Nature Reserve or Sanctuary for several reasons. Observation on the flora and fauna were conducted from 21 May - 7 June 1996 particularly in the tropical rain forest at Serule and Isaq. Data of the flora and fauna were collected through flora inventory, quantitative vegetation analysis, and interview with local people. Population sizes of many animals species appear to be declining and also some endangered species e.g. Panthera tigris sumatrana and Hylobates spp. LI HP also has species of plants are very important from the conservation point of view in relation with the forest concession activities e.g. Toona sureni, Acer laurinum, Intsia palembanica, and Doritis pulcherrima. One alternative to conserve this forest is to develop a buffer zone of medicinal plant estate. Plantations of species traditionally used for medicine, food, timber or other uses could be established in collaboration with industry
