  • An aerial view of pristine rainforest of the Leuser ecosystem, Sumatra, Indonesia. Photo: Paul Hilton Forest cover in the Leuser Ecosystem, Sumatra, Indonesia. The Leuser Ecosystem is home to the largest extent of intact forest landscapes remaining in Sumatra and it is among the most biologically abundant landscapes ever described.<br />
<br />
Scientists and conservationists consider the Leuser Ecosystem to be among the most important forests left in Southeast Asia, particularly because it is the last place of sufficient size and quality to support viable populations of rare species like Sumatran tigers, orangutans, rhinos, elephants, clouded leopards and sun bears.<br />
<br />
At least 105 mammal species, 382 bird species, and 95 reptile and amphibian species, including clouded leopards, hornbills and the largest flowers in the world, can be found in the teeming forests of the Leuser Ecosystem. Formerly known as the “Emerald Island,” Sumatra’s once lush forest landscapes are now largely gone, destroyed by decades of industrial encroachment.<br />
<br />
The Sumatran orangutan is at extreme risk of becoming the first great ape to go extinct in the wild. The last major stands of habitat for the Sumatran orangutan are found in the Leuser Ecosystem, which supports about 75 percent of the world’s remaining population. In order to save the Sumatran orangutan from extinction, we must protect the integrity of the Leuser Ecosystem. Other critical species face a similar fate. The Sumatran tiger is thought to number just a few hundred individuals left, the Sumatran rhino even fewer still, with the Sumatran elephant similarly imperiled.Photo: Paul Hilton for Earth Tree Images Forest cover, Leuser Ecosystem, Sumatra, Indonesia.

  • Palm oil expansion. Huge tracts of forest are being clearly daily to supply the grown demand for palm oil, across the globe. Right now all the worlds equatorial forests are under threat from palm oil expansion.Leuser Ecosystem, Sumatra, Indonesia. Photo: Paul Hilton The two largest oil palm-producing countries are Indonesia and Malaysia and are located in Southeast Asia, a region with numerous endemic, forest-dwelling species. Oil palm producers have asserted that forests are not being cleared to grow oil palm. Our analysis of land-cover data compiled by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization suggests that during the period 1990–2005, 55%–59% of oil palm expansion in Malaysia, and at least 56% of that in Indonesia occurred at the expense of forests. Over Borneo and Sumatra as a whole, illegal logging has led to huge declines in orangutans and other wildlife. Where forests are converted to plantations of oil palm or other crops, the consequences are even more serious, with many orangutans starving.<br />
<br />
The Sumatran orangutan is classified as Critically Endangered by IUCN. Since 1900, the number of Sumatran orangutans is thought to have fallen by about 91%, with a rapidly accelerating loss towards the end of the 20th century. Photo: Paul Hilton / Earth Tree Images

  • Palm oil processing plants thought to be sourcing illegal palm oil grown within the protected Leuser Ecosystem, Sumatra, Indonesia.Photo: Paul Hilton The two largest oil palm-producing countries are Indonesia and Malaysia and are located in Southeast Asia, a region with numerous endemic, forest-dwelling species. Oil palm producers have asserted that forests are not being cleared to grow oil palm. Our analysis of land-cover data compiled by the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization suggests that during the period 1990–2005, 55%–59% of oil palm expansion in Malaysia, and at least 56% of that in Indonesia occurred at the expense of forests. Over Borneo and Sumatra as a whole, illegal logging has led to huge declines in orangutans and other wildlife. Where forests are converted to plantations of oil palm or other crops, the consequences are even more serious, with many orangutans starving.<br />
<br />
The Sumatran orangutan is classified as Critically Endangered by IUCN. Since 1900, the number of Sumatran orangutans is thought to have fallen by about 91%, with a rapidly accelerating loss towards the end of the 20th century. Photo: Paul Hilton / Earth Tree Images
