Bringing you some good news in 2026. In the incredible Leuser Ecosystem one of our key sites in Asia. New Camera Traps captured Nearly Three Times More Images of Endangered Sumatran Tigers than Before. Tiger don’t roam across Asia as they used to, but on one island in Indonesia a population of critically endangered Sumatran tigers may have found a habitat that supplies them with enough space, intact forests, and prey to thrive and raise their young. To examine tiger population densities, researchers working alongside local rangers installed infrared cameras in forests outside the national park system. Their work, in collaboration with the government resulted in almost three times more images being taken and individual tigers being identified than during previous surveys.

Destroyed habitats, poaching, and prey depletion have dramatically reduced tiger habitats around the world. Today, tigers occupy just 5 to 10% of their historical habitats. But on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, an important population of critically endangered Sumatran tigers may persevere, a new Frontiers in Conservation Science study showed.

Using infrared cameras, researchers working on the island have set out to estimate sex-specific population densities and tigers’ movements during three surveys.In many ways, the Leuser ecosystem is an ideal habitat for Sumatran tigers. Three times the size of Yellowstone National Park, it is the largest contiguous tiger habitat remaining in Sumatra. It’s made up of lowland, hill, and montane forests, of which 44% are classified as intact forest landscape. “It’s also more thoroughly patrolled by rangers than nearly any other place on the island,

“We documented a robust tiger population, apparently among the healthiest on the island,” said Dr. Joe Figel, a conservation biologist who works with Indonesian wildlife and forestry agencies. “For those on the ground, the onus now falls on us to double down and adequately protect them.” @leuserconservationforum link in bio @paulhiltonphoto

We are focused on Global Park Defense and Community Protection to help conserve the last African Forest Elephants and Great Apes in Cameroon’s Dja Rainforest Complex.

In 2024, GC received approximately $1.2 million in program support from the UK Defra International Wildlife Trafficking and European Union Nature programs, which leveraged GC support with nearly 4:1 matching funding.

The Dja Rainforest Complex protects about 2 million hectares of largely intact tropical rainforests, including Cameroon’s last known populations of African Forest Elephants and Great Apes. Global Conservation’s preservation strategy for the Dja Rainforest Complex, which includes the Dja Faunal Reserve (DFR), Nki and Ngoryla National Parks in Cameroon, and Minkebe National Park in Gabon, incorporates community forests and logging concessions within the landscape conservation approach.

Protecting the Dja Rainforest Complex from professional elephant poaching syndicates is critical to the survival of Africa’s only remaining forest elephant populations. Satellite trail camera surveillance networks, paired with Rapid Response teams, will be utilized to safeguard national parks and community forest concessions against professional poachers.

By conserving Cameroon’s key national parks and forestry concessions, we will also be defending against poachers who cross from Cameroon into Gabon. Cameroon has already lost 95% of its African Forest Elephants, leaving less than 2,000 to survive in the deep intact woods where we study, alongside the last big apes (gorillas and chimps) and other vital species.

Djoum-based poaching syndicates in Cameroon carry out frequent elephant poaching trips into Gabon, killing thousands of African Forest Elephants each year. Over 216 ivory tusks were recently confiscated in Djoum in a military vehicle, and Colonel Ango Ango was jailed, as well as his family’s travel prohibition to the United States and Europe.

New “War On Nature” Short Film: Big Palm Oil vs Leuser Ecosystem
In this episode of War on Nature, conservation photojournalist Paul Hilton travels deep into the Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra, Indonesia, to witness the devastating impact of palm oil expansion on one of the last truly wild places on Earth.

A new era of protection is now underway in Turneffe Atoll, Belize.

Two new marine radars, three new command centers, and the new North Atoll Ranger Station are now fully operational, giving rangers the tools they need to protect one of the Caribbean’s most important marine ecosystems.

Backed by rapid response teams and fast patrol boats, enforcement can now move faster than the illegal fishers targeting these protected waters.

This is what real conservation looks like, not just lines on a map, but people on the water, day and night, defending reefs, fisheries, and livelihoods.

Turneffe Atoll is becoming a model not only for Belize, but for marine protection around the world.

One month ago, 4 rhinos were relocated in a major conservation push to rewild Uganda. Supported by @globalconservation for @ugandacf and @ugwildlife to help restore the species to an area where they had disappeared decades ago. The move marked a hopeful new chapter for wildlife conservation in Uganda and a huge step towards rebuilding the park’s natural ecosystem. 🦏

But bringing the rhinos to Kidepo was only the beginning. Since the relocation, rangers have continued intensive frontline training, preparing for any threats that could arise as they protect the animals in this vast and remote wilderness. Day and night, these teams are patrolling, training, and standing guard to ensure the rhinos have a future in Kidepo Valley National Park.

Conservation is more than moving animals, it’s long term commitment, sacrifice, and the dedication of the people risking their lives to protect wildlife every single day. The return of rhinos to Kidepo is not just about saving a species, it’s about restoring an ecosystem and proving that recovery is possible when people refuse to give up on nature.

The Singkil peat swamp in the heart of the Leuser Ecosystem is one of the last great wild places on Earth and the orangutan capital of the world. Nowhere else on the planet has more orangutans per square kilometre than these ancient peat forests.

Yet right now, chainsaws and excavators are tearing through this ecosystem. Forests that took thousands of years to form are being destroyed in a matter of days.

Peat swamps are more than forests. They are giant carbon vaults, storing immense amounts of carbon beneath the surface. When they are drained and cleared, that carbon is released into the atmosphere, accelerating the climate crisis and fuelling catastrophic fires.

I’ve walked through these forests and watched orangutans move through the canopy above dark blackwater rivers. This is one of the last places on Earth where orangutans, tigers, elephants, and rhinos still survive together in the wild.

To destroy Singkil is to destroy one of the planet’s most important ecosystems. A place beyond price, beyond replacement. Once it is gone, it is gone forever. @globalconservation is going to work with its partners on the ground to stop the illegal clearing.

The destruction must stop.

The Singkil peat swamp in the heart of the Leuser Ecosystem is one of the last great wild places on Earth and the orangutan capital of the world. Nowhere else on the planet has more orangutans per square kilometre than these ancient peat forests.

Yet right now, chainsaws and excavators are tearing through this ecosystem. Forests that took thousands of years to form are being destroyed in a matter of days.

All drugged up and sedated, on route to Kidepo Valley National Park, Uganda. Boarding South Sudan and Kenya. The stakes are high to release rhinos back into the former range. But with new technology and better training, rangers are ready to protect this rhino. It’s been fitted with a tracker in its horn, 24 hours a day. the rhino is monitored and protected. It’s just the sign of the times. It’s the frontline of conservation @ugandacf @ugwildlife .,#earthtreeimages
