  • People view the burning of more that 100 tonnes of Elephant tusks and Rhino horns in Kenya. The tusks alone - from about 8,000 elephants - would be worth more than $105 million on the black market. Conservationists worry that there is a a real threat of elephants becoming extinct in the next 50 years because of poaching bankrolled by the illegal trade in ivory. Photo: Paul Hilton

  • Meet the rangers from our elephant patrol unit. Ali Pristiyono, 28 Years Old, FKL Ranger for five Months, From Sukamulya Village. @wildlifeasia<br />
"The reason I joined FKL Ranger Elephant unit was because I want to protect the elephants by tracking and identify them. If we know their migration route, we can avoid elephants/human conflict. I want to collecting more data about elephants even though sometimes I get scared, if I'm too close to them when tracking.<br />
I found a calf all alone early this year (January) and not far from him, was his poisoned mother and also not far from her was a dead male that was shot. Sadly we still don't have anymore information." Photo: Paul Hilton

In Ardi's words "I want to make a prevention action before the elephants get into the village, this was the reason I joined FKL. But unlike Ali, my motivation came not just because of my love for elephants, but also my experience. My village is frequently visited by elephants. Earlier this year out on patrol, I was completely surrounded by elephants, it was as pretty special". Photo: Paul Hilton for Earth Tree

  • A large manta ray to brought up along side after its been harpooned, off the coast of Lamakera, Solor, Indonesia. Of the handful of locations that account for the majority of manta fishers, the central Indonesian village of Lamakera is at the top and is considered the world’s largest manta fishing site. Villagers here have conducted traditional manta hunts for many generations, but with the arrival of the gill plate trade in the early 2000s, the community converted to diesel engines and transformed to a full-scale commercial fishery, landing over 1,000 mantas in a single season.

  • A whale shark swims in the warm water off the coast of the Philippines, Oslob Cebu. According to the Australian government, around 66% of whales and other toothed cetaceans die as a result of botched attempts to use whale sharks as lures for tuna. Greenpeace is campaigning to stop the use of ‘fishing aggregating devices’ (FADs) in Pacific waters. These floating devices are left in the water by fishing vessels to attract tuna. However, their usage results in the unnecessary deaths of hundreds of thousands of juvenile tuna, whales, sharks and rays every year – known as ‘by-catch. Photo: Paul Hilton / Greenpeace

  • Rahul a 2 year old, orphaned orangutan has his check up at the quarantine centre outside Medan, Sumatra, Indonesia, 26th April 2012. Rahul was confiscated from a small village on the edge of the Tripa peat forest, 20 April 2012. This is the second rescue this week highlighting the need for urgent action to prevent local extinction. The confiscation team and police arrived at the scene at 10:45am today and identified the young orangutan immediately, tied to a small shop. Specialist orangutan veterinarian drh Yenny Saraswati of the SOCP promptly conducted a health inspection of the young orangutan. The condition of this young male is not good, he is suffering from malnutrition, his skin is bad, and he has a wound from where he has been tied with a rope. We will provide medical treatment, monitor his condition, then release him in a healthy forest. Photo: Paul Hilton

In his words, "I joined FKL Ranger team because I likes Elephants. For me Elephant is similar with human. If you don't respect them, they won't do the same to you." I was involved in wild elephant and villagers conflict last year. Approximately 40 elephants came into the village and it took 10 hours before all the elephants were completely chased away by myself and the villagers. (8pm - 6am). This was occured at Semana Jaya".
