Rainforest on Sumatra

Pageviews: 118 The last paradise on earth The Leuser ecosystem on Sumatra - a name that makes the hearts of nature conservation enthusiasts beat faster and should sting at the same time. Because here, on 2.6 million hectares of Indonesian rainforest, is the last place on our planet where tigers, elephants, orangutans and rhinos live together in the wild. Three times larger than...

Born to be killed

Page views: 130 The grim reality behind the zoo profiteering scheme Imagine a world in which animals are bred for profit rather than out of love for nature.
