The objective of my dissertation is to provide a critical examination of conservation culture in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia and Sabah, Malaysia as it pertains to the endangered Bornean orangutan (Pongo pygmaeus). Mass deforestation triggered by the growing global demand for natural resources, particularly palm oil and timber, has decimated orangutan habitats and threatens to eradicate the species. Orangutan conservation laws have been hindered by non-compliance in the form of inconsistent enforcement and limited public cooperation. Factors affecting compliance were analyzed using data collected between 2009 -- 2015. Interviews with 37 Indonesians and 16 Malaysians from various occupations were assessed for consistency between awareness of conservation laws (none to strong), verbally expressed support, and compliance through active engagement. In Central Kalimantan, increased connection to or reliance on the state was linked to decreased consistency (e.g. Federal officials = least consistent; independent journalists = most consistent). In Sabah, increased connection to or reliance on the state was linked to increased consistency (e.g. Federal officials = most consistent). Examining broader cultural contexts reveals these patterns to be the product of regional conservation strategies. Central Kalimantan's habitat-specific conservation strategy pits economic development against environmental sustainability. Sabah's species-specific strategy turns conservation into its own industry.
