At the beginning of the 1990’s the Tripa Swamp Forests, on the west coat of Aceh (island of Sumatra) had approximately 1,500 Sumatran orangutans. Sumatran orangutans are listed as critically endangered. Today, the remaining Tripa Swamps that are being converted to oil palm plantations contain only an estimated 250 orangutans. It is crucial for the [...]]]></description>

been killed during conflict encounters in Riau Province. Another 17
tigers have been captured and removed from the wild. By overlaying the

logging in the subdistricts of Sungaigelam, Kumpehilir Muarojambi

loggers were killed by tigers during the last few weeks.
