These were created by Nathan Harrison, with support from Suprayudi Rimba, Dr Abdullah, Dr Kathy Hodder & Prof. Amanda Korstjens created three documents for and with the Aras Napal Conservation Community in Sumatra, Indonesia. Funded by BU's Research Impact Fund

The Sleeping Tree (Pohon Tidur) - Invisible Flock

Published by Invisible Flock, describes how Invisible Flock and LEAP work together with Leuser Conservation Forum (FKL) and Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Programme (SOCP) to create an immersive sound installation to share the beauty of the Indonesian Forest with general audiences.

This work will feature as the headline of the Brighton Festival on 6th and 7th May 2023.

In three ways:

1. The Sleeping Tree | Brighton Festival

2. In discussion with Rudi Putra, Prof. Amanda Korstjens, and Dr Alice Eldridge about eco-acoustics and conservation in the Leuser Ecosystem

3. The Sleeping Tree Sound Installation | Brighton Festival
