Sumatran Tigers

“Zero tolerance for illegal wood.”

These are the five words that say a lot but apparently mean little to Asia Pulp and Paper (APP), a company that has made a mantra out of repeating something which is simply not true. And today, we’ve released proof that what APP says is wrong.

The news from Indonesia today that Asia Pulp & Paper (APP) has moved a tiger from one part of South Sumatra province to another in order to protect it. This is supposed to prove that company has green stripes. But, as with anything emanating from the APP publicity machine, scratch beneath the surface and you'll find an altogether different tale.

Earlier this week, we released some sad, shocking footage showing the slow and gruesome death of a Sumatran tiger that became trapped within an Asia Pulp and Paper (APP) concession in Sumatra's Riau province. The video footage also revealed that in the same APP area, recent forest clearance had taken place in an area identified as tiger habitat.
