SUMATRAN TIGER (PANTHERA TIGRIS SUMATRAE)
WWF Indonesia is working with the Indonesian government, industries threatening tiger habitat, other conservation organizations and local people to save the Sumatran tiger from extinction. The Indonesian government in 2004 declared an important area, Tesso Nilo, as a national park to ensure a secure future for the Sumatran tiger.
WWF is undertaking groundbreaking research on tigers in central Sumatra, using camera traps to estimate population size, habitat and distribution to identify wildlife corridors that require protection. WWF also fields an antipoaching patrol team and a unit that works to reduce human-tiger conflict in local communities.
