Giam Sak Kecil
This Reserve located in the Island of Sumatra, In-
donesia, recently experienced a fire in the Riau
province, where diverse threatened endemic
species inhabit. It was luckly contained in time
thanks to the action of local firemen, who suc-
cessfully extinguished the flames that were
swiftly spreading.
The fires were provoked by men,due to the con-
traband of precious wood that abound this region;
here, illegal tree cutting is an important problem
for the island and it’s completely prohibited.
GiamSakKecil stands out as a biosphere reserve
due to it’s Sumatran tigers, as well as elephants,
tapirs, andean bears and the Java rhinoceros. It’s
kind of soil allows this ecosystem to be researched
and understand the species that live here better.
It has been declared by scientific authorities as a
reserve destined to be converted into a “life labora-
tory” for sustainable development.
