Sumatra Rainforest
The Sumatra Rainforest is one of the oldest rainforests in the world, located on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. It is part of the Sumatran rainforest ecosystem, which is known for its rich biodiversity, including many unique species of plants and animals. This rainforest is home to endangered species such as the Sumatran orangutan and the Sumatran tiger.
Covering approximately 2.5 million hectares, the Sumatra Rainforest plays a crucial role in regulating the global climate and supporting local communities. It provides essential resources like timber, medicinal plants, and clean water. However, deforestation and illegal logging pose significant threats to this vital ecosystem.
