The Sumatran elephant could be extinct in the wild within three decades unless immediate steps are taken to slow the breakneck pace of deforestation, environmentalists warned Tuesday. The International Union for Conservation of Nature recently listed the animals as "critically endangered" after their numbers dropped to between 2,400 and 2,800 from an estimated 5,000 in 1985. The decline

Malaysian wildlife authorities said they had rescued a pygmy elephant calf on Borneo island and expressed hope a planned sanctuary would provide protection for the endangered animals.

These little guys were sighted in Flores, Indonesia, from ancient times to the 19th century. They’re described as hairy and short with big guts. They walk like humans. They are said to have mimicked the words people said to them. Australians and Indonesians found skeletons of a new species of human at an archaeological site. They were believed to live over ten thousand years ago. The skeletons

The Philippine rail system used to operate in a stretch 479km from La Union to Bicol on Luzon Island. After decades of neglect, it lost service to the North but recently revived to service Manila and its suburbs. Nevertheless, ingenious as always, Filipinos came up with a very interesting mode of transport.

This is a photo-story of the Cambodian Pepsi Factory built in the 1960s. When Khmer Rouge overtook the country in 1975, it was total chaos. You can still see on these photos that the factory was abandoned immediately and almost everything remained where it was. Closed, shut and off-limits. All of the Pepsi staff fled the country but some of were caught and sent to work in the fields. See
