Coming soon! The Last Place on Earth

From Academy Award winning director, Louie Psihoyos of Racing Extinction and The Cove, comes this new thrilling documentary. Holtzman Wildlife Foundation awarded a grant to the Oceanic Preservation Society to support the production of a film about the Leuser Ecosystem.

“The Last Place on Earth” is a thrilling, nine-year journey into the heart of Sumatra’s Leuser Ecosystem—a 2.6-million-hectare rainforest where tigers, elephants, rhinos, and orangutans still roam free. Filmed by a dedicated mostly Indonesian crew, this investigative documentary follows a group of extraordinary wildlife activists as they risk everything to save one of Earth’s last untouched wildernesses from the devastation of the illegal palm oil industry. From dramatic animal rescues and high-stakes arrests of poachers to the reforestation of thousands of hectares, each victory underscores the power of human determination in the face of overwhelming odds. “The Last Place on Earth” reveals the urgent need to protect our planet’s most irreplaceable treasures before it’s too late.

In order to combat the work being done by the palm oil industry in Sumatra, the Oceanic Preservation Society created Leuser: The Last Place on Earth—a thrilling action-adventure documentary that delves deep into the extraordinary Leuser Ecosystem. An undercover film team chronicled the plights of the heroes fighting to save this biodiversity hotspot on the Island of Sumatra, Indonesia from rampant corruption and destruction.

The film’s release has been delayed due to safety concerns locally. When completed, we will link its information here.
