Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park


Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park is a national park in Sumatra island, Indonesia.

The park has a total area of 3,568 km², and spans three provinces:
Lampung,
Bengkulu,
South Sumatra
Starting as a Wildlife Sanctuary in 1935, the area became a National Park in 1982.

The park is home to many endangered species, including:
Sumatran Elephant (about 500 animals, or 25% of the total remaining population of this sub-species live in the park)
Sumatran Striped Rabbit
Sumatran Rhino (an estimated 60-85 Sumatran rhinos live in the park, the largest population anywhere on Sumatra)
Sumatran Tiger (approximately 40 adult tigers or 10% of the remaining Sumatran tigers live in the park).

The park has recently lost 20% of its forests to illegal agriculture, according to the World Wide Fund for Nature.
