The story no doubt distorting the original science was that this mite runs faster than a cheetah

when measured by body size even the humble cockroach beats the cheetah on that measure. But a simple biomechanical model applying the appropriate scaling laws would suggest that all animals should be able to run at the same absolute speed not the same relative speed.

Eyes on the Forest Other endangered species like the tiger are threatened also by poaching and habitat destruction.

According to the World Wildlife Fund human activities have led to a 93 percent reduction in tigers'historic range.

WWF estimates that 97 percent of the world's tigers have been lost over the past century

and the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry captured images of 12 tigers in Sumatra in an area that was set for deforestation.

and if it overlaps with known tiger habitat. In addition the Google mapping project has helped WWF build public support to stop irresponsible logging companies that contribute to Sumatra's deforestation said Craig Kirkpatrick WWF's managing director for Borneo and Sumatra.

Although the long time between satellite images makes it difficult to actively search for threats to tigers he said Google technology has been helpful in illustrating the pace of deforestation in the region and its effects on tiger and elephant habitat.

#Human activities threaten Sumatran tiger populationsumatran tigers found exclusively on the Indonesian island of Sumatra are on the brink of extinction.

and locations of the island's dwindling tiger population has been up for debate. Virginia Tech and World Wildlife Fund researchers have found that tigers in central Sumatra live at very low densities lower than previously believed according to a study in the April 2013 issue of Oryx--The International Journal of Conservation.

The findings by Sunarto who earned his doctorate from Virginia Tech in 2011 and co-researchers Marcella Kelly an associate professor of wildlife in the College of Natural resources and Environment and Erin Poor of East Lansing Mich. a doctoral student studying wildlife science and geospatial

environmental analysis in the college suggest that high levels of human activity limit the tiger population.

which could inform interventions needed to save the tiger. Tigers are threatened not only by habitat loss from deforestation and poaching;

they are also very sensitive to human disturbance said Sunarto a native of Indonesia where people typically have one name.

The smallest surviving tiger subspecies Sumatran tigers are extremely elusive and may live at densities as low as one cat per 40 square miles.

This is the first study to compare the density of Sumatran tigers across various forest types including the previously unstudied peat land.

The research applied spatial estimation techniques to provide better accuracy of tiger density than previous studies.

Sunarto a tiger and elephant specialist with World Wildlife Fund-Indonesia collaborated on the paper with Kelly Professor Emeritus Michael Vaughan

and Sybille Klenzendorf managing director of WWF's Species Conservation Program who earned her master's and doctoral degrees in wildlife science from Virginia Tech.

Getting evidence of the tigers'presence was said difficult Kelly. It took an average of 590 days for camera traps to get an image of each individual tiger recorded.

We believe the low detection of tigers in the study area of central Sumatra was a result of the high level of human activity--farming hunting trapping

and gathering of forest products Sunarto said. We found a low population of tigers in these areas even

when there was an abundance of prey animals. Legal protection of an area followed by intensive management can reduce the level of human disturbance

and facilitate the recovery of the habitat and as well as tiger numbers. The researchers documented a potentially stable tiger population in the study region's Tesso Nilo Park where legal efforts are in place to discourage destructive human activities.

The study--Threatened predator on the equator: Multi-point abundance estimates of the tiger Panthera tigris in central Sumatra--indicates that more intensive monitoring

and proactive management of tiger populations and their habitats are crucial or this tiger subspecies will soon follow the fate of its extinct Javan and Balinese relatives.
