"The depth and intensity of training is unparalled. Navigation alone accounts for more than 30 hours of class time. More importantly, the skills developed are immediately applied in the field through a series of simulated week-long operations - all conducted under extreme conditions - identical to those in which wildlife protection teams do their valuable work"
- Muhamed Yunus, Sumatran Tiger Program coordinator

"It's now hoped that other multinational companies in Riau will follow the excellent lead shown by APRIL in acknowledging responsibility for protection of wildlife in and around their concessions"
- Neil Franklin, Sumatran Tiger Program director
 

"Despite all the negativity reported in news today there is progress being made to better ourselves and our planet. The Great News Network exists to report it." - Ryan Logtenberg, Founder GNN
