Sumatra is Indonesia's second largest island and one of the richest and most spectacular biodiversity hotspots on Earth.

Sumatra's lowland rainforests and many of the birds that depend on them are being driven to the edge of extinction because of habitat loss and fragmentation caused by logging for pulp and paper, and clearance for oil palm plantations.

The iconic Rhinoceros Hornbill 'Buceros rhinoceros' is the state emblem of Sumatra.

Once abundant, it is now threatened with extinction.

Over 40,000 square kilometres of rainforest has been cut down and cleared for industrial use in the past 20 years. The World Bank has warned that the remaining lowland rainforests will soon be gone, if current logging rates continue.

Its amazing birds and wildlife include the Sumatran Tiger, Sumatran Rhinoceros, Orang Utan, Sumatran Ground-cuckoo, Red-naped Trogon, Rufous-collared Kingfisher, Storm's Stork and the magnificent Rhinoceros Hornbill.

Over 75% of all forest dependent birds in Sumatra are either Globally Threatened with extinction or Near-Threatened.

BirdLife is about to launch a campaign calling on international financial institutions, companies, donors and the Indonesian Government to avoid any further deforestation for pulp, paper or palm oil production.

Sumatran orang utans are critically endangered. Habitat loss and poaching are pushing them towards imminent extinction.

Every minute, every day an area equal to six football fields of Indonesian forest disappears.
