>WWF Helps Protect Over 6 Million Acres in the Amazon
>On June 6, 2006 the Brazilian government announced the creation of new
>protected areas in the Amazon region totaling approximately 6.2
>million acres. The Amazon has the world's highest diversity of birds
>and freshwater fish, as well as the planet's largest rain forest,
>which is home to more than one third of all species. However, illegal
>logging, slash-and-burn agriculture, and other human activities are
>destroying the forest at an alarming rate. This is another amazing
>step forward for WWF's ambitious conservation project, the Amazon
>Region Protected Area (ARPA). Learn more about this fabulous
>conservation victory!

>New Camera Trap Images from Tesso Nilo
>The next batch of photos from WWF's camera traps are in! This
>collection includes a series of photos from Tesso Nilo National Park
>on the island of Sumatra. See animals like tigers, red muntjacs, a
>crested serpent eagle, clouded leopards, and pigtailed macaques. And
>one of the tigers in the series had a special surprise for us! View
>this and WWF's other camera trap series, and be sure to help support
>this important conservation work. Of the 80 camera traps we set up in
>Tesso Nilo, 18 were stolen and 25 were broken. To continue collecting
>this important information from these cameras, WWF currently needs 100
>more cameras traps.

>TAKE ACTION

>Elephants Released in Sumatra, Protected Areas Expanded--Thanks in
>Part to CAN Members Like You!
>Seven endangered Sumatran elephants that had been captured by government 
>translocation teams were safely relocated into Tesso Nilo National Park, 
>seven weeks after they were found chained to trees without food or water. 
>Local forestry officials had captured the elephants after they had damaged 
>crops and homes. The loss of elephant habitat on the Indonesian island of 
>Sumatra has resulted in massive conflicts between humans and elephants 
>which are forced to feed on crops that have replaced their natural foods. 
>Fortunately, the government has pledged to more than double the size of 
>Tesso Nilo, which is essential to prevent repeat elephant-human conflicts. 
>Join CAN today to be part of future successes like this!
