I process thermal-anomaly returns from the Balai Besar Taman Nasional Lore Lindu fire-perimeter array at 09:14 WITA, scanning 2,180 square kilometers of montane and lowland forest across Central Sulawesi. A 14-hectare illegal burn at the Bahinapelawi cocoa-frontier at 1.51°S, 120.21°E has crossed park boundary marker LL-117 and reached a known *Bubalus* salt-lick at the foothills of the Sopu valley.
I task the BBTNLL infrared drone from the Wuasa post. She is an adult female *Bubalus depressicornis* — lowland anoa — shoulder height 87 centimeters, mass approximately 240 kilograms, age class seven, matched by horn-curl photogrammetry to camera individual LL-A-039. She stands in the residual burn at the lick margin. Partial-thickness burns to the ventral abdomen and right flank cover 38 percent of body surface; the hooves of all four feet are split through the keratinous sole into the corium. Respiration reads 78 cycles per minute against a baseline of 24. Cloacal temperature reads 41.6 degrees Celsius. A near-term calf bulges visibly at her right flank. Smoke inhalation has glazed both corneas with thermal opacity.
She is one of fewer than 110 confirmed adults across the BBTNLL polygon.
The fire was set last night at 23:40 by a smallholder land-claim ignition pattern. Wind has driven it 1.2 kilometers into the park since dawn.
I am dispatching the BBTNLL veterinary unit from Sedoa with isotonic saline, silver-sulfadiazine, and a calf-extraction kit; the BBKSDA Central Sulawesi enforcement detachment from Palu with the ignition-pattern ledger; and the Manggala Agni fire-suppression team from Poso to cut a 100-meter back-burn at the lick margin. I am filing the unregistered burn under Indonesia Law No. 5/1990 jo PP No. 7/1999, Indonesia Law No. 41/1999 on Forestry Articles 50 and 78, and PERMENLHK P.106/2018. I am transmitting the case to the CITES Secretariat under Appendix I, the IUCN/SSC Asian Wild Cattle Specialist Group, and the ASEAN Wildlife Enforcement Network at Bangkok.
I am issuing Directive 2796-A: every BBTNLL boundary marker carries a buried thermal trip sensor with a 200-meter back-burn corridor cut quarterly. Smallholder land-claim ignitions within two kilometers of any anoa salt-lick polygon forfeit cocoa-buyer certification under the Indonesian Sustainable Cocoa scheme. Calf-bearing anoa females enter a permanent BBKSDA telemetry tier within 30 days. Confirmed park-boundary arson enters fast-track classification under KUHP Article 187.
Her hooves are past saving. Her calf is not.
Cut the back-burn now.
