SOUNDBITE: (English) Jan Vertefeuille, WWF International Communications Manager\u003cbr/\u003e\"Tigers are very valuable to poachers, so they are getting hit by two different things, they are losing a lot of their habitat and poachers are killing them for the black market. So that is one thing that the law enforcement in Indonesia really needs to crack down on this poaching. TRAFFIC found that there are open air illegal markets in Sumatra for tigers and that just unacceptable. There should not be any tigers for sale in Indonesia. So the law enforcement really needs to get stronger to protect the tiger as well as protecting their habitat.\"\u003cbr/\u003eTesso Nilo forest, Riau Province, Sumatra, Indonesia, 29 April 2008\u003cbr/\u003e34. Various still pictures of tigers taken by camera trap.\u003cbr/\u003eThere are only four hundred Sumatran Tigers left in the wild in the world, according to the WWF (World Wide Fund for Nature), an international charity which campaigns for the conservation of wild animal. \u003cbr/\u003eThe group says that illegal poaching and the destruction of their forests are the main threats to their survival. \u003cbr/\u003eThe WWF recently installed infa-red cameras in the forests of Riau in Indonesia, these have improved their ability to monitor tigers and record the illegal poaching. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Riau province of Indonesia is home to one of the most dense tropical forests in the world. \u003cbr/\u003eOne hundred and ninety-two endangered sumatran tigers live in the forest and local villagers can track their location by their paw prints.  \u003cbr/\u003eSince 2004 the WWF have been working to save the Sumatran tigers from extinction. \u003cbr/\u003eOne of their methods is to install cameras in areas of the Tesso Nilo National Park to check on the tigers. \u003cbr/\u003eThe cameras also allow them to watch out for potential poachers and catch them. \u003cbr/\u003eThe camera trap is a very simple and inexpensive tool, that provides comprehensive information. \u003cbr/\u003eIt helps WWF scientists to estimate the size of the tiger population and their habitats. \u003cbr/\u003eThey're also useful because they show the scientists exactly where the endangered tigers live.  \u003cbr/\u003eThe Sumatran has the darkest coat of all the tigers, ranging from reddish-yellow to deep orange. \u003cbr/\u003eThe WWF say they are one of only six sub-species that survive today. They were classified as critically endangered in 1999.\u003cbr/\u003eThe \"Tiger Teams\" that install the cameras consist of four members.\u003cbr/\u003eThey research the area thoroughly to ensure the cameras are placed in the most efficient and productive locations. \u003cbr/\u003eThey're installed carefully in very remote areas using maps, measuring tapes and GPS (Global Positioning System) devices. \u003cbr/\u003eThe camera trap itself is very simple. It is an everyday camera with film combined with batteries that can last up to one month and a passive infra-red sensor which starts the camera whenever there are movements within its range. \u003cbr/\u003eUsually the cameras are attached to trees in pairs to ensure that they capture a complete picture.  \u003cbr/\u003eSometimes the cameras must be moved because the flashes disturb the animals and scare them from the area. \u003cbr/\u003eThe WWF Riau Tiger team currently has 45 cameras which are continuously placed in 23 different locations. \u003cbr/\u003eOther animals caught by the infrared sensor include deer,  jungle cats, wild boar, elephants, antelopes and bears. \u003cbr/\u003eLoggers, poachers and some indigenous tribes have also appeared in the pictures.\u003cbr/\u003eBut there are problems, the cameras often malfunction and are occasionally stolen. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Sumatran Tiger is only found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra. \u003cbr/\u003eTheir existence is threatened because their homes are being destroyed by deforestation. \u003cbr/\u003eAlso they're hunted and killed by poachers who sell their highly valued body parts on the black market. \u003cbr/\u003eThe illegal trade in Sumatran tigers was particularly common in the 1980s and is still a problem today. \u003cbr/\u003eOne former poacher has admitted that in the ten years that he was involved in the illegal activity, he had captured 30 tigers, selling some of them alive and killing the rest for their body parts. \u003cbr/\u003eHe claims that demand for the tigers is still high, but that it is not being met due the dramatic decrease in the population.\u003cbr/\u003eIn 2008, TRAFFIC, the wildlife trade monitoring programme of WWF and IUCN,  the world conservation union, released a disturbing report.\u003cbr/\u003eThey discovered that the trade was thriving, and the domestic market in Sumatra was completely open, despite it being illegal.\u003cbr/\u003eAn earlier undercover study by TRAFFIC revealed that at least 50 sumatran tigers were poached annually between 1998 and 2002. \u003cbr/\u003eThe Indonesian government promised strict enforcement in Sumatra to stop poaching in 2004, but since 2005 the WWF have uncovered and confiscated over one hundred snares. \u003cbr/\u003eJan Vertefeuille, from the WWF wants the Indonesian government to do more to protect the the tiger from poachers, as well as protecting their habitat. \u003cbr/\u003eNow the last 400 tigers are confined in the remaining blocks of lowland rainforest. \u003cbr/\u003eThe WWF is working with the Indonesian government and industries that threaten the tiger's habitat, as well as other conservation organisations and local people to save the Sumatran tiger from extinction.\u003cbr/\u003e\u003c/span\u003e\n\u003c/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class='action-container flex justify-between'\u003e\n\u003cbutton aria-expanded='false' aria-label='Read
