Images of mammals seem to be extinct

This is one of the biggest projects ever made.

1. Tiger's eyes

Sumatran tiger is extremely wary of camera traps (camera trap) at the park
nation Kerinci Seblat, on Sumatran island, Indonesia.

Kerinci Sebat National Park is one of the last refugees of Sumatran tigers - the tiger described by the International Nature Conservancy (IUCN) as critically endangered - this national park is a landmark. The point of the scientists' survey and the equipment used in this long time survey (from 2004 to 2009) was mainly camera traps.

During the project, scientists from the International Plant and Animal Center (FFI) and the University of Kent took pictures of 35 individual tiger individuals. These images as well as pictures of some other mammals have recently been published in the FFI magazine.

'Unlike the famous tigers like Bengal tigers and Siberian tigers, Sumatran tigers are less widely known because the studies on this tiger are too small, in part because they hide too deeply in the lush equatorial rain forest ' . Mike Linkie, FFI staff, said.

'Apart from Sumatran tigers, Indonesia has two other tigers, Bali tiger and Java tiger, but unfortunately both species are extinct due to human poaching. Sumatran tigers are also at risk of 'repeat history', due to illegal hunting on the island ' . Linkie said.

He added: 'Even so, we still have hope, FFI has established five anti-poaching teams in the national park . '

2. The deer species seems to have disappeared

Sumatran deer.

This Sumatran deer seems to have "disappeared" in the wild western mountains of Kerinci Seblat National Park, until it was found in hunters' traps in September 2007.

Discovered in 1914, these deer were no longer seen in the early 1920s.

3. The Sumantra soil

Sumatran soil.

After 90 years, the new Sumantra cuckoo image was seen again. The photo was taken by a camera trap in May 2006.

In 1916 this species was discovered, but it has been discovered since then.

Sometimes camera traps also capture pictures of poachers hunting in the park. These photos were posted on a website, but the information about the poachers collected was very small.

4. Pair of tapirs

Asian tapirs.

A pair of Asian tapirs are caught while playing.The photo was taken in September 2006.

The Asian tapir, named in the list of endangered species of IUNCN, has a population decline over the past 30 years.

Their decline is thought to be caused by habitat loss when people cut down forests to get the most agricultural land, which is the land for oil palm cultivation.

5. Cloud newspaper

New species of leopard discovered in Borneo island and Sumatran island.

In 2007, this leopard leopard was discovered on Borneo Island and Sumantra Island. When compared with other leopard species, scientists have confirmed this is a separate species.

This species of leopard previously - listed on the IUCN list as a vulnerable species - is believed to be the same species as the cloud leopard in the mainland.

The population of this species is declining due to deforestation, their number is only about 10,000, according to IUNCN.

6. Being hunted to make fur hats

Rhino Hornbill (Rhinoceros hornbill).

Widely distributed throughout Southeast Asia, Rhino hornbill (Rhinoceros hornbill) is listed as a highly endangered species.

According to conservation organizations of rare animals, in Borneo, this bird is hunted for meat and feathers to make extremely luxurious and unique hats.

7. Yellow cat

Asian yellow cat.

An Asian yellow cat takes a break from a camera trap. The photo was taken in July 2006.

During the survey period, the members of the group were frequently disturbed by the animals.'For example, porcupines have destroyed one of the camera's sensors and at night the animals have repeatedly raided the camp to get food' . Linkie said.

And, he added, 'ant is always a nightmare for us' .
