| Status and Conservation of the Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrensis) - A survey of World Wildlife Fund International | |
| 1977 Full Book | |
World Wildlife Fund International has carried out a two years survey on the Sumatran Tiger. About 1'000 animals of this endangered subspecies are still surviving, scattered over all the Island of Sumatra. The Tiger has found its last stronghold in the lowland forests of Central Sumatra, where selective timber cutting is creating an optimal habitat. Poaching is still frequent, but the Indonesian Nature Conservation Departement is making great efforts to save the Tiger from extinction. A 5'000 km2 large reserve is created in the Riau Province to assure the survival of the Sumatran Tiger. |
