In short: Sumatra is home to some of the world's most iconic wildlife, but human expansion is pushing these species toward extinction. This documentary follows dedicated activists and elite squads on the front lines of conservation.

The film explores the urgent struggle to protect four specific endemic species: elephants, tigers, rhinos, and orangutans.
