The Leuser Ecosystem is an area of forest located in the provinces of Aceh and North Sumatra on the island of Sumatra in Indonesia. Covering more than 2.6 million hectares it is one of the richest expanses of tropical rain forest in Southeast Asia and is the last place on earth where sumatran elephant, sumatran rhinoceros, sumatran tiger and sumatran orangutan are found within one area.〔Robertson, Y. (2002) "Briefing Document on Road Network Through the Leuser Ecosystem". Cambridge University. http://www-1.unipv.it/webbio/api/leuser.htm〕 ==Geography==
The ecosystem stretches from the coast of the Indian Ocean to the Malacca Straits. It encompasses two vast mountain ranges including Mount Leuser that reaches 3455m, two major volcanoes, three lakes and more than nine major river systems.〔"The Leuser Ecosystem A Precious Remnant of Eden". Leuser International Foundation.http://www.aceh-eye.org/data_files/english_format/environment/env_leuser/env_leuser_analysis/env_leuser_analysis_0000_00_01.pdf〕 As well as providing habitats for a number of endangered wildlife species, the ecosystem acts as a life support for approximately four million people who live around it by providing a steady supply of water, soil fertility, flood control, climate regulation and pest mitigation.〔
