“…Habitat restoration includes habitat enrichment by planting trees and understorey plants that are favorable to elephants, high nutrient contents, fast-growing, endemic plants, and/or non-invasive plants. The recommended species of trees are Artocarpus integer, Garcinia celebica, Palaquium obovatum Macaranga gigantea, and Macaranga lowii [133]; while the recommended understorey plants are Pennisetum purpureum, Ottochloa nodosa Melastoma malabathricum, Stenochlaena palustris, Cyperus kyllingia, Setaria megaphylla, Nephrolepis biserrata, Andropogon intermedius, and Andropogon halepensis [51,133]. Habitat restoration should also consider elephant home range and access to water sources [51,134].…”

“…Stepping-stone corridors are built based on the distance of animals to the outside of the forest area to prevent disturbances to settlements and agricultural areas. For example, in the forest plantation in Ogan Komering Ilir Regency, elephants enter gardens and community settlements 2-3 km from the industrial forest boundary [51]. Stepping stones can be made along 4-5 km of forest or 1-2 km before the edges of a community settlement.…”

The high rate of deforestation and fragmentation of elephant habitat on Sumatra Island has triggered human-elephant conflict (HEC) in Sumatra Island, Indonesia. This conflict brings negative impacts on humans and elephants. Despite numerous efforts having been made to solve this problem, the HEC continues to occur in the remaining elephant enclave every year. The harmonious coexistence between humans and elephants could be improved through HEC mitigation programs. The aim of this paper was to review information on HEC in Sumatra Island, investigate the causes and implications of HEC, review existing HEC mitigation methods, and formulate strategies to improve the harmonious coexistence between humans and elephants. The best strategies to create successful human and elephant coexistence are strengthening the institutions and policies, restoring the habitat, developing wildlife corridors, establishing Essential Ecosystem Areas (EEA), community empowerment through ecotourism, providing legal access to forests through Social Forestry (SF), and providing compensation schemes for conflict victims.

“…Collins (2018) states the most significant factor affecting the elephant population is shifts and changes in a habitat like the largescale conversion of forest to monoculture plantations. Habitat change in the transformation of primary forest land into agricultural and plantation areas is a fundamental problem for elephant-human conflicts (Mustafa et al 2018). Ministry of Environment and Forestry in RTMPPGS recognized that to minimize elephant-human disputes, there is a need to optimize barrier management and encourage coexistence practices between humans and elephants.…”

Abstract. Setiawan A, Monik DT, Charles Y, Lestari ER, Ruciyansah Y, Anwar Z. 2021. An assessment of Sumatran elephant presences (Elephas maximus sumatranus) in Kotaagung Utara (Lampung, Indonesia) as a potential tourism attraction. Biodiversitas 22: 5397-5407. Kesatuan Pengelolaan Hutan (KPH) Kotaagung Utara is a region of approximately 56.02 ha, consisting of 8.82% forest cover and 91.18% non-forest cover. This region has a high diversity of flora and fauna and has potential as a tourist destination with various and unique biophysical attractions. One of the special features of this location is the presence of Sumatran elephants [Elephas maximus sumatranus (Temminck, 1847)]. Wild elephants in KPH are a tourism potential that can be developed to become a tourism attraction. The objectives of this research were to find out the elephant home ranges and the right window of time to observe the Sumatran elephants and assess safety, security, and convenience considerations for visitors to observe wild elephants. The method used in the research was an observation, and the results were qualitative data. The data collection’s elephants movement through the use of GPS Collar from 2017-2020. The study identified that there are 16 wild elephants known as the Bunga group. The elephants can be observed from 7:30 to 12:00 am or 3:00 to 6:00 pm, with a duration of 3 hours per day. Steps can be taken to increase visitor’s safety, security and convenience with the building of a treehouse, evacuation route, use of binoculars, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).

“…The Sumatran elephant habitat is fragmented into habitats that have narrow space and hinder mobility, causing the Sumatran elephant population to be isolated and their numbers to decline. Habitat fragmentation also results in the increasingly limited availability of feed, water, and cover resources (Mustafa et al 2018). The limited availability of resources triggers conflicts between elephants and humans.…”

The movement of Sumatran elephants from forests to villages and agricultural lands triggers elephant-human conflicts. The increase in conflict between Sumatran elephants and humans has caused a drastic decline in the Sumatran elephant population. The decline in the Sumatran elephant population indicates the importance of the conservation efforts carried out on the results of research studies related to the traces of Sumatran elephant activities. This study aims to analyze the relationship between activity traces and the characteristics of the Sumatran elephant habitat at Pemerihan Resort. The research was carried out from July 2021 to January 2022. The direct observation carried out in the observation line is 1 km long and 250 m wide (4 transect lines) with 4 repetitions. The results showed that the spatial distribution of Sumatran elephant activity traces is related to habitat characteristics, namely land cover type (secondary forest), topographic class (flat), distance from water sources (<1000 m), and distance from settlements (1000-2000 m). Traces of activity can be interpreted as an indicator of knowing the presence of Sumatran elephants that can prevent and minimize conflict levels. Management of the habitat and population of Sumatran elephants through enrichment of feed and captive activities is needed as a form of Sumatran elephant conservation efforts.
