Green Matters"International Tiger Day 2025: The Ongoing Threats Facing Sumatran Tigers
Tigers (Panthera tigris) are the world’s largest wild cats. Elusive, solitary beings, they are the apex predator in their habitat. They hold deep cultural significance in many regions and communities across Asia.
But their survival hangs by a thread, with all subspecies of tigers in a desperate fight for their future.
The Sumatran tiger – Indonesia’s critically endangered king of the jungle – faces the grim reality of being lost forever. With fewer than 300 left in the wild, time is running out to save it. Sumatran tigers are the last tigers left in Indonesia, with the Balinese and Javanese tigers already extinct."

Raku, l’orang-outan guérisseur
Ce mâle orang-outan de Sumatra s’est blessé à la joue… et a surpris les scientifiques en appliquant une plante médicinale locale : akar kuning (Fibranaurea tinctoria), une liane connue pour ses propriétés analgésiques 
En quelques jours, sa blessure cicatrise, et en un mois, il est totalement rétabli.
Un véritable autoprescripteur de la jungle ! 
Preuve éclatante de l’intelligence bluffante de ces grands singes… et une leçon d’humilité pour l’humanité

Working through my 2011 Indonesia photos and I've reached Tuk Tuk, the beautiful pimple on the arse of Samosir island in Lake Danau on Sumatra.
One feature of the local architecture that fascinated me was its similarity with Māori motifs. The Polynesian migration passed along the the Indonesian islands around 1500-500 BC; it seems to me that this similarity is not coincidental. Did they bring it with them, or take it from here?
Some samples.
