  • A baby of critically endangered Sumatran Elephant is pictured with it's mother in the Leuser Ecosystem.<br />
<br />
Leuser Ecosystem is the last place on earth where an elephant, rhino, orangutan and tiger can be found together in the same ecosystem.

  • 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.

  • The team from Vesswic, FKL rangers, BKSDA, and WCS worked tirelessly doing everything they could to get Daisy to stand, the following day, 28th after some negotiations, the team manage to get an excavator to the site, extreme as it may sound, we needed to get the elephant into a better position said Chief veterinarian Anha lubis. @vesswic “For an elephant laying in its side, puts all kinds on pressures on their internal organs”. The excavator moved closer to the elephant, even with all the noise she didn’t budge, it was really our last chance to try to improve the situation. After digging a trench, the digger, pushes her into a standing position, this allowed the blood to flow into her legs properly, but unfortunately every time we got her into an upright position she fell back into the same position, on the same side.<br />
At this stage I question the teams motives, are we just prolonging her imminent death. Does she just want to die in peace?<br />
My camera, is the only thing, between me and Daisy, I lock the focus, then suddenly I’m overwhelmed with sadness, as I see her left front leg, the snare wound, is deep, maybe a third of the way though her foot, the pain from this alone must be overbearing. The JCB, pushing her, these machines, represent so much destruction to me, clearing so much forest on a daily basis. Just over the hill, behind her, 1000’s of hectares of palm oil plantations. The Leuser Ecosystem is in retreat! Tropical lowland forest are still being cleared.. She stands for one last time, then slowly slipping back to her original position. Then sometime this morning she passed away, in peace. Please keep sending funds as we have so much more to do, with 3 more elephant, patrol teams needed desperately.

  • paulhiltonphotoMeet Daisy, she was caught in a snare, and has been down like this for a number of days. The veterinarians from @vesswic discussed about euthanasia, but she started to eat loads of bananas, pineapple, watermelon, sugarcane and bananas leaves. In this picture, she’s eating a piece of sugarcane. There is a time to live and a time to die, but not now, not on this day. We are on the edge of the Leuser Ecosystem one of the last real wild places on this planet, without these constant gardens of the forest, the system would suffer, biodiversity would be depleted and eventually effect all of us, in some way, everything is so perfectly connected. When we lose an elephant, we lose apart of ourselves. Now is the time to dig deep and help us with a donation, link in my bio. We need more boots on the ground, rangers in the field to prevent this happening, for the forgotten elephants, and for the last great ecosystems of the planet.

  • paulhiltonphotoMeet Daisy, she was caught in a snare, and has been down like this for a number of days. The veterinarians from @vesswic discussed about euthanasia, but she started to eat loads of bananas, pineapple, watermelon, sugarcane and bananas leaves. In this picture, she’s eating a piece of sugarcane. There is a time to live and a time to die, but not now, not on this day. We are on the edge of the Leuser Ecosystem one of the last real wild places on this planet, without these constant gardens of the forest, the system would suffer, biodiversity would be depleted and eventually effect all of us, in some way, everything is so perfectly connected. When we lose an elephant, we lose apart of ourselves. Now is the time to dig deep and help us with a donation, link in my bio. We need more boots on the ground, rangers in the field to prevent this happening, for the forgotten elephants, and for the last great ecosystems of the planet.
