Registration of tiger taxidermies and other wildlife contraband at a police station in Banda Aceh, Sumatra Indonesia before they are burnt after several busts of wildlife crime syndicates that had been operating in and around the Leuser Ecosystem, the last place on earth where tigers, rhinos, elephants, and orangutans still coexist under the same canopy. The syndicates have trade routes, spanning the globe and as illegal palm oil expansion moves into the last remaining blocks of forest allowing poachers easy access to some of the last iconic species.
