Ponti, the name of a 3 months old baby bear. Ponti was delivered by the local community which found it around the Tesso Nilo National Park to Balai Taman Nasional Tesso Nilo Post at Lubuk Kembang Bunga village. The local found it alone, they assumed that this baby was left behind by its mother. Now this baby bear have to stay with the officer of National Park because until now the provincial government doesn't have a shelter for animal like Ponti. Ponti is one of the fauna which live in Tesso Nilo Forest. Tesso Nilo is one of the richest forest in Sumatera Island. This forest rich of fauna and flora and all other specific biodiversity. But level of threats in this forest also high. Conflict between animal and human can't be avoid. Animal usually become the most loss victim, just like Ponti, no one knows what happen to this baby bear's mother. The room of life is getting tight each and every day, no place to run or to get food, each hectares forest has become plantation whether it build by 
the company or local community which usually in small scale. The most worst problem is Illegal logging. Just like cancer, it spreads every where it wants and in the end you only found empty spaces like a desert and the place where the animal is usually sheltering become tightened.
Ponti now live in the post of Tesso Nilo National Park. Every day they gives Ponti a bottle of honey which mixed with mineral water. 
Seems like this is not good enough for this young bear, resource and capacity which will need more fund to get this baby bear survive.
