From Poacher to Wildlife Ranger. What Changed his Mind?

The Leuser Ecosystem is one of the largest stretches of tropical rainforest in Southeast Asia and the last one on earth where the Sumatran elephant, rhino, tiger, sun bear and orangutan live together in the wild. Wildlife in this part of Indonesia is endangered by illegal poaching activities, logging and unsustainable agricultural practices. Watch the video to learn more about how wildlife patrols protect the animals and plant biodiversity during their trips into the forest.
