Jakarta, (Antara) - Documentary film "Sumatran Last Tiger" was bestowed the silver medal in the world awards at the New York Film Festival in 2016.
The documentary describes the conservation efforts for two Sumatran Tigers in the conservation area, namely Tambling Wildlife Nature Conservation (TWNC) in the southern of Bukit Barisan National Park in West Coast District, Lampung Province.
The film, exploring the nature and wildlife in the southern of Bukit Barisan National Park, has beaten hundreds of other documentary films to the award, according to a press release received here Saturday. The film was produced by Channel News Asia, Mediacorp Pte Ltd, Singapore.
The official announcement of the award on the website of the New York Film Festival Friday (April 22) stated that the gold medal was received by film "Vanishing King: Lion of Namib", which speaks of the threatened extinction of wildlife lions in Namibia, Africa. The film was produced by Interspot GmBh, Austria.
The Film "Sumatran Last Tiger" talks about how Sumatran Tigers were rehabilitated and released into the wild after their conflicts with humans.
The rehabilitation centre for tigers is located in the TWNC, which is managed by national entrepreneur Tomy Winata, the founder of Artha Graha Peduli.
The film explored how two Sumatran Tigers (Panthera Tigris Sumatrae) had been reintroduced into the wild after undergoing a period of rehabilitation.
The release of the two tigers, namely Panti and Petir, was watched by Minister of Environment and Forestry Siti Nurbaya, and Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti.
The release was held in a natural conservation area of approximately 50,000 hectares in Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS).
Panti and Petir are part of the nine Sumatran tigers that have been rehabilitated in the area of the Tiger Rescue Center, TWNC, and released one by one.
Now, there are 500 tigers in Sumatra. They are endangered because of the destruction of forests across Sumatra. Many Sumatran tigers in Aceh Province, for instance, enter villages to find food, and this leads to a conflict between tigers and humans.
The world conservation organizations for the protection of species of big cats (Panthera) awarded Artha Graha Peduli and the Indonesian government officials and its former officials for the protection of tigers. The award was presented July 16, 2014 when the annual meeting "Tigers Forever" was held in Jakarta.
Panthera was rewarded for the great success in its effort to rescue wild tigers in various countries, especially in TWNC, Indonesia.(*)
