Help us to Protect Wild Elephant and Tiger Land in Sumatra
We're on a mission to secure critical land parcels adjacent to the UNESCO-listed Gunung Leuser National Park, the last refuge where orangutans, elephants, rhinos, and tigers roam freely. This pristine habitat, vital for Sumatran tigers and Asian elephants' migration, is under threat. Our goal is to purchase and protect 5 hectares of land, preventing it from succumbing to palm oil and other developments—for LIFE. This campaign is part of our larger rainforest rescue initiative in the park's buffer zone. Your urgent support is crucial. All of these species are critically endangered as their habitat is shrinking rapidly. Together, we can ensure a future where these majestic animals thrive. Contributions will fund: Land acquisition: Safeguard 5 hectares at $35,000 Equipment: Acquire GPS, camera traps, and a high-quality camera for monitoring ($2,500). Wildlife monitoring activities: Track and protect our diverse wildlife. 100% OF ALL DONATIONS GO TOWARDS ON GROUND DIRECT ACTION
