Earlier in 2019 the Sumatran Ranger Project team received a call from a forest edge community living alongside the Gunung Leuser National Park, part of the Leuser Ecosystem in North Sumatra. A Sumatran tiger killed one of the locals' three cows and they needed assistance. Our team spent the entire night working together with a team of locals to drive the young female tiger back into the forest and away from the community. There is no predator compensation scheme in Indonesia
