  1. Sumatran Tigers

  2. Saving Sumatran Tigers There are fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild. The Sumatran tigers are trying to find new safer homes because their habitats are being destroyed by people building homes and chopping down rain forests

  3. By cutting the rain forests, the Sumatran tigers are dying out not just because of the lack homes but also their food supply. By disturbing the animals we have disturbed the food chain!

  4. There are illegal squatters that have already coved about 20% of the 900,000 acres of park to farmland to grow coffee, pepper and other crops. This is because of the large post-tsunami influx of immigrant settlers.

  5. This has only increased pressures on the resource rich protected area

  6. Despite government efforts to evict as many as 15,600 families who have built semipermanent homes within the park, the influx continues, endangering not only the Sumatran tiger but a number of other wildlife species including the Sumatran Rhino and Sumatran Elephant the -- three of the world's most endangered mammals.
