Sumatran Tiger
The problem:
Sumatran tigers are critically endangered and losing their habitat because of illegal palm oil plantations. Palm oil plantations also affect other animals in Sumatra, like the Sumatran rhino. There are only about 400 Sumatran tigers left in the wild.
When their rainforest gets cut down for palm oil plantations or logging the Sumatran tigers have nowhere to live (they have a smaller habitat to live in). They end up attacking people like farmers, hunters and then get killed.
Where they live?
The
Sumatran tiger is only found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
