How wildlife rangers protect animals and the environment

Ecosia is the search engine that plants trees: https://ecosia.co/info

Most of us are familiar with the Amazon Forest’s role in maintaining the world’s rain patterns, storing CO2, and providing a habitat for wildlife.But the Leuser Ecosystem in Sumatra, Indonesia, tends to be known in conservationist circles only, despite being an utterly unique place.

The Leuser Ecosystem is one of the largest stretches of tropical rainforest in Southeast Asia and the last one on earth where the Sumatran elephant, rhino, tiger, sun bear and orangutan live together in the wild.

Wildlife in this part of Indonesia is endangered by illegal poaching activities, logging and unsustainable agricultural practices. Your searches on Ecosia are helping us plant trees here. But they do so much more than that. Through our partners we are also supporting the existence of wildlife patrols tasked with protecting animals.

Watch the video to learn more about how wildlife patrols protect not only animals, but also plant biodiversity during their trips into the forest.
