SAVE SUMATRA : The Real Life Jungle Book
- by: Joshua Bales
- recipient: United Nations
Sumatra is an island in the indonesian archipegalo that includes borneo,malaysia,komodo,ect... situated between australia and southeast asia. A biodiversity hot spot and an international biosphere natural world heritage site, Sumatra is the real life ''jungle book''. It is the last island in indonesia with a wild tiger population and the only place in the world where tigers, sunda clouded leopards, bay cats, flat headed cats, black leopards, suma rhinos, suma elephants, orangutan, and sun bears live in the same ecosystem, most of which are critically endangered and found no where else in the world. The sumatran tiger is the smallest of the tiger species and has the broadest black stripes and is thought to exist in a population of less than 400 individuals. Maybe the best example of what time and nature can due over the coarse of millions of years without interuption until humans. I became aware of this horrifing destruction after watching a climate change documentary starring Harrison Ford in a helicopter showing the scorched earth devastation where a protected national park rainforest was destroyed illegally while the sumatran ministry of forest turned a blind eye for a bribe to rob the future of this irreplacable wild ecosystem. This living eden is being lost to palm oil plantations which replaces paradise with one species of commercial palm. Please sign this petition to save sumatra from the unforgivable actions of evil eco terrorist corporations poised to depreciate our planet of biodiversity of life for selfish personal profit.
