400 endangered Sumatran Tigers remain in the wild and - now we know – even one less than that

Recently word came to our Greenpeace office in Indonesia that a Sumatran tiger was stuck in an animal trap on the border of an Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) concession. It was trapped for six days in total without food or water. After a week of suffering forest officers arrived to evacuate the tiger – but it was too late. The tiger died during the rescue attempt.
