[Sumatra Wildlife Corridor](https://savingnature.com/product-category/sumatra-wildlife-corridor/): Help create a 1,575 acre wildlife corridor in the last place on earth where elephants, rhinos, orangutans, and tigers live together in the wild. The project will combat the loss of habitat, reestablish elephant migration routes, and build a buffer against poachers. Our long-term goal is to connect a 5,500-ha area recently designated by the government as an elephant conservation area with nearly 300,000 ha of protected forest (production forest, protection forest and national park).
