new videos

New videos have been added to our youtube channel. We finally got some nice footage of another cat species, the leopard cat and also, very short, a black golden cat.
Another new species we got is the banded linsang, which lives in trees most of the time, so it's nice this one decided to come down to the forest floor.
We have put a number of brand new cameras along the main tiger trail, so let's hope for some new exiting footage next month!

snares

Poaching is still a very serious threat to Leuser's wildlife. During the last camera check, BPKEL staff has come across a number of snares which form an immediate threat to the tigers we've captured on film in recent months. All snares encountered have been removed,  next month we'll check out if this has discouraged the poachers sufficiently.
