Protect a Sumatran Tiger for Earth Day

Protect a Sumatran Tiger for Earth Day
Indonesia was once home to three subspecies of tiger: Bali, Javan, and Sumatran. Today, the Bali and Javan have gone extinct from poaching and habitat destruction, and there are less than 400 Sumatran tigers still in existence.

This Earth Day, help us protect the forests of Indonesia in the hopes that we might save what few of these majestic tigers remain.

As recently as 80 years ago, Bali, Javan, and Sumatran Tigers thrived on the island chain of Indonesia. Today, because of habitat destruction and poaching, Bali and Javan Tigers are extinct and less than 400 Sumatran Tigers remain. Every minute on Sumatra, a forested area the size of five football fields is cleared to make way for paper, rubber and palm oil plantations. Without permanent habitat protection, Sumatran Tigers face the same fate as their cousins the Bali and Javan.




GreaterGood and Rainforest Trust are teaming up with local Sumatran agency YKEHS to create three protected areas within the Central Sumatran forest ecosystem that will conserve 200,396 acres, home to 30 of the last 400 critically endangered Sumatran Tigers. This Earth Day, GreaterGood's goal is to permanently protect habitat to save one of these Sumatran Tigers, and we need your support! By helping us meet our goal to protect 6,700 acres by April 22nd, you will mark a significant first step in the project to protect all 30 of the tigers living on this land.

Right now, because of a matching pledge, you can protect an acre of this endangered rainforest for just $3.41. Help us meet our goal to ensure Sumatran Tigers can continue to survive, and one day thrive again on the island of Sumatra.

Rainforest Trust is a nonprofit conservation organization focused on saving rainforest and endangered species in partnership with local conservation leaders and indigenous communities. Since its founding in 1988, Rainforest Trust has saved nearly 8 million acres of rainforest and other tropical habitats and has 85 projects across 22 countries.
