**//SUMATRAN TIGER//** <span style="background-color: #f2f0e4; font-family: arial,helvetica,verdana,sans-serif; font-size: 16px; text-align: left;">**Scientific name:** //Panthera tigris sumatrae//
 * IUCN Listing:** Critically Endangered
 * Habitat:** Montane forests, the remaining blocks of the island's lowland forest, peat swamps, and freshwater swamp forests
 * Location:** Exclusively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra
 * Interesting Fact:** Sumatran tigers are protected by law in Indonesia, with tough provisions for jail time and steep fines. Despite increased efforts in tiger conservation, including law enforcement and anti-poaching capacity, a substantial market remains in Sumatra for tiger parts and products.

= = =Asian Rhino project!= []

The Indian rhinoceros, Sumatran rhinoceros and Javan rhinoceros are all seriously endangered due to rampant poaching and habitat loss caused by human encroachment. Poached for their horn, caught in snare traps, pit traps, poisoned or electrocuted by wires hung from overhanging power lines.

Conservation of these flagship species in the wild not only ensures there will be rhino around for future generations, but will also assist to ensure the survival of other threatened species of Asia’s rainforests such as the orang-utan, sun bear, gibbon, elephant, tiger, rafflesia flower and many, many more. But we have to act now! The Asian Rhino Project (ARP) is an Australian non-profit, volunteer organisation raising awareness and support for the three Asian rhino species. By actively seeking funding from donors, corporate sponsors and memberships, merchandise sales and funds raised through events and educational programs; we contribute to programs //in-situ// through partnerships formed with conservation organisations in the field. Sumatran rhinoceros also known as the ‘pygmy rhino’! Although the Sumatran Rhino numbers more than its Javan relatives, it is considered to be more threatened due to its extreme population fragmentation. The population has declined by 70% over the last two decades due to poaching for its horn as well as increasing destruction of its habitat. There are currently four individuals at the Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary; a 250-acre complex located within Way Kambas National Park in Sumatra. The SRS is an intensively managed research and breeding program aimed at increasing our knowledge about the Sumatran rhino with the ultimate aim of increasing the population in the wild. At the SRS, the rhinos reside in large, open areas where they can experience a natural rainforest habitat while still receiving state-of-the-art veterinary care and nutrition.

Conservation status! The wild Sumatran Rhinoceros population is estimated to be less than 200 individuals. This species is considered the most highly endangered species of rhino in the world because of the extreme fragmentation of its population. Small numbers of the Sumatran rhinos are scattered across the islands of Sumatra and Borneo. Until recently the Sumatran rhinoceros was also found in Malaysia Peninsula however, there have been no recent sightings for many years and these populations may well have become extinct.

Habitat! The Sumatran Rhino's habitat consists of dense tropical forest (both highland and lowland) and it has been recorded at altitudes of up to 6,500 feet.

Diet!

A solitary animal, the Sumatran Rhino feeds on a wide variety of browse and wild fruits. Other features! This species is the only two-horned rhino of the three Asian species but is more closely related to the Asian One-horned Rhino than its two-horned African cousins. Its hide is red in colour with a hairy coat and it is sometimes referred to the 'Asian Hairy Rhinoceros'. The smallest of the rhino species, it weighs just 950kg. With a height of only 1.5 meters, another nickname for these rhino is the 'Pygmy Rhino'. This species is the closest living relative of the extinct 'Woolly Rhinoceros'.
