Description
The Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sondaica) is a critically endangered subspecies of tiger, once found on several islands in the Indonesian archipelago, including Java and Bali, but now extirpated from everywhere but Sumatra, where its population is fragmented and in decline. They are among the smallest subspecies of Tiger, with other minor and not always consistent variations in appearance. Palm and acacia plantations, reduction in other large mammals they prey upon, and poaching, all threaten them. They prefer to live in the depths of forested wilderness, which is vanishing in response to increasing agricultural demands, exacerbated, I’m told, by widespread corruption within government agencies otherwise tasked with environmental protection. While protected, there continues to be a strong, black market demand for tiger parts and poaching continues to diminish tiger numbers. The situation is not helped by the fact that tigers will sometimes prey on livestock, companion animals and humans. In balance, their future looks bleak. My painting is 17 by 25 inches, in oils on compressed hardboard. $700.00.
