snares again

At this moment we're looking hard to find sufficient funding to continue removing these ugly snares and to keep the trap cameras running!
                                                 ALL HELP IS WELCOME!! 

time for action!

The forests of Leuser and all animals we've been showing you on the Eyes on Leuser site are seriously threatened right now by a ridiculously stupid Spatial Plan. Time is fast running out PLEASE go here and sign the petition!!

Sumatran Serow

probably still common in Leusers far corners, but very rare near human settlements. The Sumatran Serow is now listed as vulnerable by the IUCN. We got only three videos of this odd looking species of goat antilope and it seems to be three times the same individual..

three-legged sun bear

After we found iron snares in prime tiger habitat and saw poachers on our videos last year, here's yet another proof that Leuser is not free of poaching yet..

not easy being prey

sambar deer and muntjac, always vigilant in order not to become the next meal of one of Leuser's many predators..

videos from Leusers mountains

In may we've moved the cameras from Leusers lowlands to the mountains. After 4 months we got lots of new videos, showing several new species including some rare and endemic ones, like the Aceh peasant, the Sumatran hog badger and tigers living as high as 2300 meters.

For more videos of the Aceh pheasant, watch here, and if you like to see more vids of the marbled cat check this one. 

tiger cave

the first mountain cams are ready for action, this one right in front of a small cave at 2200m,  inside we found fresh scats of a large cat...
