Sumatran tiger is Indonesia's last tiger - after the Bali tigers in the decade of the 40s and the Java tiger in the decade of the 80s expressed extinct. Concern for the future of 'forest king' in its natural habitat encourages WWF-Indonesia to continue to make concerted efforts to protect Sumatran tigers
Sumatran tiger as the top predator in the food chain has an important role to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. These animals need a unique habitat as a place of life: a vast forest cover for shelter, rest, shelter from the sun and rain, adequate water availability for drinking, bathing and swimming and adequate prey (feed). As a keeper of the balance of forest ecosystems, it plays a role to protect the sustainability and save other wildlife that ultimately human welfare was awake.
Sumatran tiger is a reliable swimmer because it has a membrane between his fingers; in contrast to the pet cat who does not like the water. Black and orange stripes are his strength for camouflage. The flyblade also serves as a differentiator for each individual tiger with other individuals, as well as the pattern of human fingerprints.
