LEA is an effective buffer for maintaining forest ecosystems and increasing the local communities' welfare through agroforestry system.

The average accuracy and standard error of NDVI analysis were 83.33% and 2.62.

Based on the NDVI analysis, the largest area in LEA belonged to class 5, meaning that the most area in LEA was dominated by high dense vegetation (1,870,116.40 ha). The objectives of this study were to analyze vegetation cover using Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI) in LEA and its relation to agroforestry structure, composition and diversity in Agusen Village, Gayo Lues District and Alur Durin Village, East Aceh District, Aceh Province belonging to LEA. Additionally, vegetation cover data as an approach to monitor forest cover changes in LEA is still lacking and baseline data regarding composition, structure as well as vegetation diversity in LEA is very limited. However, LEA faces many threats, such as infrastructure development, and industrial palm oil plantation. It is the last habitat on earth where Sumatran tigers, elephants, orangutans, and rhinoceros are found together. The Leuser Ecosystem Area (LEA) is the largest conservation area in Malesian forest that plays essential role in biodiversity and ecosystem services conservation efforts. About 2 Mha of 24.3 Mha degraded area in Indonesia is inside conservation area.
