Tembilahan, Riau. Pada tanggal 25 Juni 2009, berkas kasus tersebut telah
dinyatakan lengkap dan telah masuk ke babak putusan hukum di Pengadilan Negeri
Tembilahan.
Kasus pembunuhan 3 ekor Harimau Sumatera di Tembilahan, Kabupaten Indragiri
Hilir-Riau tersebut merupakan kejahatan di bidang kehutanan yang sangat serius
sehingga upaya penuntasan kasus dan tuntutan hukum yang memadai terhadap para
pelaku harus dilakukan dengan baik untuk memberikan efek jera terhadap para
pelaku lain. Selain itu juga proses ini diharapkan dapat memutus jaringan
perdagangan Harimau Sumatera yang sampai saat ini masih terus terjadi yang mana
merupakan bagian dari jaringan perdagangan Harimau Sumatera secara
internasional.
Dukunglah Jaksa dan Hakim yang menangani kasus harimau Sumatera tersebut
sehingga dapat memberikan hukuman maksimal kepada para pelaku kejahatan
pembunuhan Harimau Sumatera di Tembilahan!

sumatran tiger killings case in Tembilahan are completed. Judges of district
court will decide the terms of punishment for 2 perpetrators after the whole
proceeding is done. This case is categorized as serious forest crime, so the
persecution must give deterrence effect for tiger poachers
out there and to cut the long line of Sumatran tiger international trade
networks.
Support the judges and public persecutor on handling this Sumatran tiger case
and give maximum sentence for the perpetrators.

Why is your support important?
Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae) is a subspecies of tiger that
categorized as critical endangered (IUCN) and is protected in Indonesia.
Sumatran tiger is the only subspecies of Asian tiger remains in Indonesia.
There are only approximately 400 tigers left in Indonesia. During 1998 to 2005,
international and national tiger scientists’ agencies collected data from the
field and predicted that 207 individuals of sumatran tiger were dead in Sumatra
during that time. This amount is equal with half of Sumatran tiger population
from 1994 to 1999. During 1998 to 2001, 98 Sumatran tiger were killed. If this
condition continues without any effort to stop it, Sumatran tiger will become
extinct.
The main problem of the decrease population amount is poaching activities.
Sumatran tiger has high value for some national or international communities.
This main predator is skinned and sold for interior accessories with very high
price and the bones are used for Chinese traditional medicines. Some people
believe that some parts of Sumatran tiger’s body have magical peculiarity.
The killing of Sumatran tiger from its natural habitat will give negative
impacts, either ecologically or economically. For example, Wild boar population
will increase because of the absence of its predator and destroy community’s
agriculture activities. Tigers are closely related to local cultures which make
it important to protect this charismatic animal to preserve local cultures that
built national characteristic. Protecting Sumatran tigers will be a positive
image for Indonesian as a nation who care about its natural biodiversity as a
support for sustainable development efforts.
