In Search of Sumatra's Reptiles, Amphibians & Invertebrates – Aceh (Part One)

In this episode, I venture into some of Sumatra’s most pristine rainforests in the heart of the Leuser National Park. Here, I wanted to film the lesser-known species of the Leuser Ecosystem in order to raise awareness of their existence and vulnerability. Sumatra has lost over 50% of its primary rainforest over the past 40 years, making this habitat some of the most precious of all in a global biodiversity hotspot. More information about deforestation in Sumatra can be found here:    • Can we save the Leuser Ecosystem? | Chasin...   The next video may take a while to upload as I will be travelling for a month, but I’ll publish it as soon as possible.
