  • Malayan Tapir (Tapirus indicus) known as badak (Malaysia and Indonesia).<br />
<br />
The Malayan tapir is the largest of the four species of tapir, and it’s the only one located in Asia. They are also the largest of the tapir species, weighing in at around 350 kg (720 pounds) and growing 1.8 meters long (6 feet). These tapirs are easily recognizable by their coloration; they have a large white patch around their middles, and black heads and hind quarters. Malayan Tapirs are found from southern Thailand and southern Myanmar (Burma) through the Malayan Peninsula, as well as on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. Their habitat is rainforests and lower montane forests. Habitat destruction and fragmentation is the primary threat. Large scale deforestation, including illegal logging for timber, is a major source of habitat loss. The growth of palm oil plantations is also a major factor in habitat loss. Hunting is also on the rise as other large “prey” species in the area are reduced in number. Population Estimate (2008): 1500-2000 individuals. Numbers are decreasing.

  • 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.

  • Seahorses, for sale, Guangzhou, China. Sea horses are used in Traditional Chines Medicine. Seahorses are threatened by habitat loss, pollution and illegal poaching. In recent years, seahorse populations have plummeted due to their popularity in Traditional Chinese Medicine, (TCM). Despite there being no evidence to suggest that seahorse has any medical benefits, demand for the fish has grown immensely with people hailing it as a miracle cure for ailments such as impotence, bladder control, asthma, and abdominal pain. Seahorse is also thought to be a powerful aphrodisiac and is often taken to increase sexual potency.<br />
<br />
With around one-quarter of the world’s population practising Traditional Chinese Medicine, it is not surprising that the seahorse populations are being threatened. The staggering demand for this ‘miracle medicine’ has spawned a spike in illegal trade and harvest of the unique seahorse, with over 24 million seahorses being sold around the world each year.

  • A portrait of male Sumatran Orangutan. Orangutan is the most arboreal of the great apes. Unlike their relatives, orangutans spend most of the time in trees. A male orangutan can be distinguished from the female by size and appearance. The dominant males have a pair of cheek pad.<br />
<br />
As the only great ape species in Asia, orangutans are now pushed into an extinction as a consequence of habitat loss and poaching. Both species, Sumatran Orangutan and Bornean Orangutan, are listed as critically endangered on IUCN Red List.

  • 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.
