Sumatran rainforest
The Sumatran rainforest is a rich and diverse ecosystem located on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. It is part of the larger Sundaland biodiversity hotspot, known for its unique flora and fauna. This rainforest is home to many endangered species, including the Sumatran orangutan, Sumatran tiger, and Sumatran elephant.
The rainforest plays a crucial role in regulating the global climate by absorbing carbon dioxide and producing oxygen. However, it faces significant threats from deforestation, illegal logging, and palm oil plantations, which endanger its biodiversity and disrupt the delicate balance of the ecosystem.
