Forest Destruction in Sumatra
Recent destroyed forest land by Sinar Mas’ paper arm, Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), in Kerumutan and Bukit Tigapuluh areas. APP is Indonesia’s largest pulp and paper producer. Spanning over half a million hectares, the Bukit Tigapuluh forest in Central Sumatra is one of the last refuges for the critically endangered Sumatran tiger. It has been designated one of the twenty highest global priority landscapes for conserving tigers. Of this landscape, 144,000 hectares are designated as the Bukit Tigapuluh National Park.
Bukit Tigapuluh is the island’s largest lowland rainforest region, hosting incredible biodiversity: 660 plant species, 200 species of birds and 60 mammal species, including the highly endangered clouded leopard (Neofelic nebulosa), Malayan tapir (Tapirus indicus) and elephant (Elephas maximus).
