  • On patrol within the Leuser Ecosystem the FKL rangers find the remains of a critically endangered Sumatran Elephant that died after being trapped in a steel snare, Sumatra, Indonesia. The 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 for Earth Tree

  • Sumatran Elephant is a sub-species of Asian elephant, found exclusively in Sumatra.<br />
<br />
Listed as critically endangered by IUCN, the population is decreasing over 80% over the last three generations. Habitat loss and poaching are the main threats.<br />
<br />
As a keystone species, elephants have a critical role on the ecosystem. The absence of elephants will definitely change the balance of the ecosystem.

  • Wild elephants, drink from the river, just a few miles away from an illegal gold mine, Geumpang, Aceh, Sumatra 10th Sepetember 2013. In 2012, the Sumatran elephant was changed from “Endangered” to “Critically Endangered” because half of its population has been lost in one generation. It's estimated population of 2000 individuals makes in the most endangered elephant on the planet.  —a decline that is largely due to habitat loss and as a result human-elephant conflict. Sumatra has experienced one of the highest rates of deforestation within the Asian elephant’s range, which has resulted in local extinctions of elephants in many areas. Over two-thirds of its natural lowland forest has been razed in the past 25 years and nearly 70 percent of the Sumatran elephant’s habitat has been destroyed in one generation. Photo: Paul Hilton.
