FKL rangers in the Leuser Ecosystem find the remains of a critically endangered Sumatran Elephant that died after being trapped in a steel snare, Sumatra, Indonesia. Leuser Ecosystem is home to some of the last wild herds of elephants in Sumatra. Forum Konservasi Leuser (FKL) rangers serve to protect the Leuser Ecosystem, one of the most biodiverse hotspots in the world; home to rhino, orangutan, tigers and elephants. The area is under enormous threat from poachers and deforestation to make room for roads and palm oil plantations. Photo: Paul Hilton / Earth Tree Images
