Rainforest Seminar Series #3: Interconnection of Human and Wildlife From the Lens of Pulitzer Center’s Fellows. Sumatra lost 40% of its old growth forest from the 1990s until 2010, making it the global epicenter of tropical deforestation. International grantees and Fellows of the Pulitzer Center will share their wildlife-focused investigations from Sumatra and elsewhere in Asia with university students and lecturers in the area.
