Collection: Sumatra, Indonesia

Sumatra is one of the Sunda Islands of western Indonesia, sitting right on the equator. It’s the largest island fully within Indonesian territory, as well as the sixth-largest island in the world, with a population of over 50 million. The climate of the island is tropical, hot, and humid, with a wide range of plant and animal species, though it’s lost almost 50% of its tropical rainforest since the 1980’s. Much of Sumatra’s economy is based around its oil fields, coalfields, and copious deposits of gold and silver, while its many plantations primarily grow cash crops for export, including cacao.
