Abstract
The remarkable large-mammal fauna of the Indonesian island of Sumatra is one of the most endangered on Earth and is threatened by rampant deforestation. This paper uses remote sensing and biological surveys to study the effects of deforestation on populations of endangered large mammals (Sumatran elephants, Sumatran tigers, Sumatran rhinoceros, and Malay tapirs) in a Sumatran landscape.
