This clip filmed on July 30 shows a Sumatran tiger being released back into the wild, after being rescued from an oil palm plantation in Indonesia.

Officers from the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA), released the animal in the protected forest area of West Pasaman, in the West Sumatra province, Indonesia.

Ardi Andono, Head of the West Sumatra KSDA Center, said that the tiger was captured in an oil palm plantation on July 19, using a box trap.

"It was chasing workers' cars, and was very scary" he explained.

The animal was released back to its natural habitat after 10 days of observation, on July 29, coinciding with International Tiger Day. She was named Sigopu.

"We hope that the tiger will breed", said Andono.

According to the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF), Sumatran tigers "are the smallest surviving tiger subspecies". They are only found on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

The Sumatran tiger, which was evacuated from an oil palm plantation in Indonesia a few days ago, has been released back into its habitat.

Footage filmed on Friday, July 30, show officers from the Natural Resources Conservation Agency (BKSDA), released a Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris Sumatrae) in the Panti Batang Gadis landscape, protected forest area of West Pasaman, West Sumatra province.

The head of the West Sumatra KSDA Center, Ardi Andono, told reporters that the Sumatran tigress, named Sipogu, was rescued from an oil palm plantation on July 19, 2021 using a box trap.

"This tiger was scary as it appeared and tried to chase the workers' cars," Ardi said.

The tiger was observed for 10 days and declared fit for release.

"To coincide with the moment of International Tiger Day, July 29, 2021, we hope that the Sumatran tigress will breed," Ardi added.
