Critically Endangered Sumatran Tiger Caught on Camera in Indonesian Forest

A critically endangered Sumatran tiger has been filmed in a protected forest in Indonesia, offering rare evidence of the species’ survival. The tiger, known scientifically as *Panthera tigris sumatrae*, was captured by a camera trap in the Hutan Harapan ecosystem on Sumatra island. This sighting is significant because fewer than 400 Sumatran tigers remain in the wild, threatened by deforestation and poaching. The footage confirms the animal’s presence in a key conservation area, giving hope to efforts to protect the species.
