Homeless Tigers Protest in Jakarta

Tiger-suited Greenpeace activists and supporters, representing the less than 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild, stand in front of the Indonesian Forestry Ministry building, urging action to save their dwindling forest habitat. The peat land forest that companies like APP are destroying for disposable products like tissue paper is crucial habitat for many species that are protected under Indonesian and international law, including the Sumatran tiger and ramin tree.

Homeless Tigers Protest in Jakarta

Hundreds of Greenpeace activists dressed in tiger costumes and representing threatened and homeless Sumatran tigers, gather in front of Indonesia’s Ministry of Forestry to urge Minister Zulkifli Hasan to take action against Asia Pulp & Paper (APP). The action is carried out after a Greenpeace investigation found ramin, an internationally protected tree species, at Indah Kiat Perawang APP pulp mill. Greenpeace delivered its investigative report about APP to the Ministry of Forestry and the national police on the 1st March.
