In addition to the mission of introducing variety themes about
Indonesia, we also want to build a caring of our fans & friends for
preservation. We want to build an understanding of the importance of
inherited traditions, culture, and everything origin Indonesia to the
next generation, including endangered animals. In the design of
"Indonesia Animal Series", we raised two
rare animals as its theme: “The Sumatran Tiger (Panthera Tigris
Sumatrae)” and “The Java Rhino (Rhinoceros sondaicus)”. Both are
threatened with extinction due to poaching, deforestation, climate
change, natural disasters, etc.
The Sumatran tiger is one of
six sub-species of tigers that still survive to this day and are
included in the classification of critically endangered species. The
population in the wild is only about 400 individuals. As the primary
predator in the food chain, the tiger preserve wild prey populations
that are under control so that the balance between prey and vegetation
that they eat can be maintained. Sumatran tiger faces two types of
threats: habitat destruction due to the high rate of deforestation and
the illegal trade in which body parts sold at high prices on the black
market for traditional medicines, jewelry, amulets and decorations.
The one-horned Javan Rhinoceros (Rhinoceros sondaicus) is
Rhinocerotidae family members, one of five types of rhinoceros that
still exist today and into the same genus Rhinoceros India. This species
is now extremely critical status, with only two known populations are
found in the wild. Now including the rarest mammals on earth, there are
only about 50 live tails Park is home, Indonesia. While in Cat Tien
National Park, Vietnam in 2007 estimated the population is not more than
8 tails. Reduced Javan rhino population due to poaching for its horn,
which is very valuable in traditional Chinese medicine. Another factor
is habitat destruction, prone to disease, and reduced genetic diversity
that cause proliferation.
Through both these designs, LITTLE
INDONESIA want to do a simple campaign to save the two species, merely
introducing the existence to the kids and hope will build their
awareness. We consciously did not have any power to do more than this,
but we believe by being part of a movement no matter how small it is,
will help to expand the escalation and the outcome of the movement.
While enjoying our products, you can also take a small part of a
campaign to protect the animal’s native to Indonesia. Let’s Save Our
Endangered Animals!
