"When the tsunami hit some inland villages
in the Nagappattinam area of India, it didn’t
destroy homes or take lives as it did in the
more coastal areas. Instead, in villages
composed of inland fishermen and farmers,
the tsunami took away people’s livelihoods. It
destroyed inland fishing areas and covered
farmland with more than a foot of sand."

" The natural disaster causes the suffering
for human as well as animals. There are 6
wildlife left in Wulandari mini zoo in Banda
Aceh in a very poor condition and hungry. These
species are; monkey (pig tail macaque), angora
cat, python, turtle and crane/stork. The owner
of the zoo has fled the area when the disaster
struck, and left the wildlife behind. When
ProFauna team visited this mini zoo, there
is no food available for these wild animals.
The cages are full of rubbish and are flooded."

" Sadly those rescued wildlife placed at
BKSDA’s(council of conservation of natural
resources) site in Aceh also affected by the
disaster. The cages are destroyed. On the ruined
cages there is evidence of clumps of tiger’s
flesh and fur, we have no idea what is the
fate of that tiger."
