  • A pair of Sunda Pangolin were waiting to be sold in black market.<br />
<br />
They were too small in the market and would be kept for awhile until their size is big enough. Pangolin is the most trafficked mammal and they are sold by weight.

  • A Sunda Pangolin and its baby had just released from a bust in Medan, Indonesia, April 2015.<br />
<br />
These two were amongst 97 live who got released back into the forest. Pangolin is the most trafficked mammals in the world. Millions of them are hunted annually.

  • 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.
    Sumatran Elephant002.jpg
  • 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.

  • 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.

    Sunda Pangolin001.jpg
  • Thousands of frozen Sunda Pangolin in a pit.<br />
<br />
These frozen pangolins were confiscated from a warehouse at harbour in Medan, North Sumatra, Indonesia. It was one of the biggest bust of pangolin in Indonesia. Along the frozen pangolins were 97 live ones and they were all succesfully released back into the forest.

  • Pristine rainforest in the Leuser ecosystem and the Gunung Leuser National Park, Aceh Province, 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.

  • Pristine rainforest in the Leuser ecosystem and the Gunung Leuser National Park, Aceh Province, 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.

American naturalist Roy Chapman Andrews called the fin whale "the greyhound of the sea ... for its beautiful, slender body is built like a racing yacht and the animal can surpass the speed of the fastest ocean steamship."
