Man and beast face off in Sumatra (World Page A8)

Q1) What is illegal logging?
-It is the illegal extraction of timber , purchase or sales of timber without seeking the permission of the government.

Q2) What can you do to stop the Sumatran tiger from extinction?
- I could help to join an environmentally-friendly group and help spread the effects and consequences of illegal logging. I could also help to enlighten others on the drastic fall in the average number of sumatran tigers and they are near to extinction. Another way that I would do is to provide feedback and surveys to the government and forest rangers , stating that rules and regulation on illegal logging should be stricter than before. In my survey, I could also say that more forest rangers should patrol more often around sumatran forests to enhance the safety of the forests. By doing so, illegal logging syndicate will not have any chance to strike on the forests. Ultimately, if lesser trees are being logged, more tigers will be able to live longer.
