Creating a Harmonious Living Space in ACEH

Through BerbagiRuang, we strive to create safe corridors for elephants and humans to coexist peacefully.

The Challenges We're Facing

Declining Elephant Population

50%in 60 years

Illegal Poaching

2200case each year

Habitat Loss

Eight elephant pockets that are the original habitat for Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) are in a very worrying condition. Land conversion into palm oil plantations, industrial forest plantations, and human settlements has threatened their existence.

Here are some examples:

  • Only 1 individual left in Rokan Hilir and Batang Ulak
  • Only 3 individuals left in Mahato-Barumun
  • Only 5 individuals left in Balai Raja
  • 50-60 individuals left in Giam Siak Kecil
  • 30-38 individuals left in Tesso Nilo Utara
  • 50-60 individuals left in Tesso Nilo Tenggara

Talang Forest for Passageways

The remaining Talang Forest is part of the Balai Raja Wildlife Reserve (SM). However, its condition is worrying because it has been converted into settlements, palm oil plantations, and even government offices. 

Fragmented habitats make it increasingly difficult for elephants to find food and shelter.

Threatened by Development Projects

Until now, there are no records of development projects that consider the survival of protected wildlife, except for the Pekanbaru-Dumai Toll Road project.

Six special crossings for Sumatran elephants will soon be built in the Pekanbaru-Dumai Toll Road project so that protected wildlife can still roam freely in their habitats without disturbing road users.

WHAT DO WE WANT TO ACHIEVE?

Through your contributions, WWF-Indonesia will utilize it to form the Elephant Friends Forum and the Elephant Flying Squad or Elephant Patrol Team. These initiatives aim to enhance the effectiveness of mitigating conflicts between wildlife and humans.

We also regularly conduct capacity-building training for human resources involved in this conservation effort.

Your contributions will be used to:

  1. Help protect wildlife and their habitats, including elephant habitats.
  2. Rebuild degraded habitats.
  3. Expand protected areas.
  4. Support local communities in managing natural resources.
  5. Fund our conservation efforts worldwide.
