Rapid loss of habitat due to logging is the biggest threat to critically
endangered Sumatran tigers.

The Indonesian Government has the power to protect and save the Sumatran
tiger population, but it won’t do it unless we force it to.

Tell the Indonesian Government to save the Sumatran tigers and crack down
on illegal logging.

John,

Less than 600 Sumatran tigers are left in the wild. Rampant illegal
logging is destroying the forests where they hunt for food and cutting off
safe paths for them to find mates in different parts of the mountains.
When loggers make roads into the forest, they make it very easy for
poachers to get in and get the tigers out.

Tiger cubs haven’t been seen in years which has researchers extremely
concerned about how the population will survive. Tigers are already
extinct in Java, Bali and Singapore. We can’t let that happen in Sumatra.
The Indonesian Government has the power to protect the tigers and the
forest, but it’ll only act if hit where it hurts most: its wallet.

The Indonesian Government increasingly relies on tourism––it just gave its
tourism advertising budget a massive cash injection in hopes of great
returns in the years to come––and will be worried if word gets out that it
is letting loggers push Sumatran tigers to extinction.

Without urgent action we risk losing another species to extinction. Will
you take action to help protect the tigers and demand the Indonesian
Government to stop illegal logging?

These tigers live in the beautiful rugged mountains of the Ulu Masen
Ecosystem. The little-studied forests are not currently included in
Indonesia’s network of protected areas so corporations think they can get
away with illegally bulldozing trees and ripping up the earth.

The loss of habitat is the biggest threat to the survival of these
precious tigers. Conservation experts have recommended 500 plus rangers
are urgently trained to patrol, report and stop the illegal logging. Now
we just need a big global push to make sure the Indonesian Government
actually resources this.

The Ekō community has a strong track record of coming together to stop
deforestation and protect animals' homes. Like when we pushed the European
Commission to stand up to the palm oil lobby and regulate palm oil in
biodiesel. That was a massive win for the orangutans and their forest
homes. Let’s do it again for the tigers' forest homes.
