With your help, our dedicated APE Protector team has been vigilantly patrolling and protecting vital tiger habitat in Sumatra!
Keeping a careful eye on tiger forest is key to protecting the Sumatran tiger species. It also helps keep countless other species safe, as well as the forests they rely on for survival. With your incredible support, the APE Protector team:
- Patrol protected forest land
- Monitor wildlife with trail cameras
- Remove deadly snares and traps
- Prevent illegal activities like poaching and logging
We are so grateful to have you on board, saving tigers and other precious wildlife!
To help you really get a sense of the fantastic work they do, here’s a little recap of what they got up to towards the end of last year!
October– Patrols
In October, the team saw many signs of various wildlife during their patrols. They discovered signs of rhinoceros, hornbills and tapirs. They also replaced trail cameras that help monitor the movement and safety of wildlife.
November– Discoveries
Patrols this month were a success. The team saw signs of many wildlife species, including the Sumatran tiger! They found tiger claw marks, signs of bears feeding, bear scratch marks, and wild boar wallows. They also heard the lovely calls of hornbills and eagles.
December– Trail Cameras
This was a big month for our patrol teams, who conducted patrols across 22.2km of land in the Rimbo Panti area. They installed six new trail cameras and practised their navigation skills. They successfully recorded 34 signs of wildlife, including track marks, animal droppings and wallows.
Thank you so much to you, our incredible group of wildlife warriors, for making this work possible. With your help, the APE Protector team can do what it does best. Patrol, protect and preserve precious tigers, wildlife and forests!
You are a true champion for tigers, and we are so grateful you’re here with us! 🐅 🌳
