Protecting the Last Ancestor's  Footprints in the Jungle of Sumatera
Talking about the Sumatran tiger and extinction is not just about a single species fading from the earth, but it's a huge signal of the breakdown of an entire ecosystem. Losing the Great Nenek means losing the forest, biodiversity, and balance of human life
Every bullet and snare that is used by hunters, every inch of forest that is cleared, and every human-animal conflict will accelerate the Sumatran tiger's journey to extinction.
One day, generations after us will only known our Nenek through records, images, stories, or silent bones behind glass in a museum.
Moreover, the loss of the Sumatran tiger also means losing a part of our cultural identity. Tigers have long been woven into our society through history, local wisdom, folktales, and even as symbols of strength. Not only in Sumatra, but across the entire archipelago.
Protecting the Sumatran tiger is not only Conservation's duty. Â It is our shared responsibility. They are living proof that nature's heart still beats amid globalization.
If we neglect to protect them today, it is not only the tiger that will become extinct tomorrow, but also our home and hope for a sustainable earth.
