The Environment and Forestry Ministry’s biodiversity conservation director Indra Exploitasia said people needed to maintain the balance of the ecosystem during the COVID-19 outbreak and that wildlife had an important role in the environment.
The agency received a report on the snared tiger from the PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper (RAPP) Estate Meranti on Saturday afternoon, after the company’s field officers found the tiger on the outskirts of the plantation.
