Critically Endangered蘇門答臘象（Elephas maximus sumatranus）是亞洲象的亞種之一，生活在印度尼西亞蘇門答臘島上。2011年，蘇門答臘象由於在過去75年中數量劇減超過80%而被IUCN列爲極危物種，其主要原因則是栖息地喪失。例如過去25年中有69%的蘇門答臘象栖息地遭到破壞，現存的栖息地面積也不足與支撐其蘇門答臘象種群了。

Article
The Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is one of three recognized subspecies of the Asian elephant, and native to the Indonesian island of Sumatra. In 2011, IUCN upgraded the conservation status of the Sumatran elephant from endangered to critically endangered in its Red List as the population had declined by at least 80% during the past three generations, estimated to be about 75 years. The subspecies is preeminently threatened by habitat loss, degradation and fragmentation, and poaching; over 69% of potential elephant habitat has been lost within the last 25 years. Much of the remaining forest cover is in blocks smaller than 250 km (97 sq mi), which are too small to contain viable elephant populations.
