Protecting Endangered Species
Protecting endangered species is a crucial responsibility that we must embrace in order to preserve the rich biodiversity of our planet. As human activities continue to encroach upon natural habitats, countless species face the risk of extinction. It is imperative that we take proactive measures to safeguard these vulnerable creatures. This involves implementing stringent conservation efforts, such as creating protected areas, enacting legislation to combat illegal wildlife trade, and promoting sustainable practices in industries that impact wildlife habitats. Furthermore, raising awareness and educating the public about the importance of biodiversity conservation plays a vital role in garnering support and collective action. By demonstrating empathy towards endangered species and collaborating with local communities, we can restore balance to ecosystems and ensure a sustainable future for both wildlife and human beings.

The project area inside RCPM Project has a rather delicate biodiversity profile. The area especially Kepulauan Meranti is home to hundreds of species, including Sumatran Sun Bear (Helarctos malayanus) and Rusa Timor (Rusa timorensis), both in vulnerable status. The field study on PDD will be expected to find another endemic species when the current time has yet to be found in the preliminary study. Sungai Linau and Teluk Lanus harbor more protected species. These include the Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), Tapir (Tapirus indicus), and Hornbill (Rhyticeros undulatus). These animals have a status of vulnerable to critically endangered. In the water area, the Irrawaddy Dolphin (Orcaella brevirostris), locally known as Pesut, has been found in Indragiri water and is classified as an endangered species. Another endangered water species found is Asian Arowana (Scleropages formosus).
