Abstract

Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is one of the many wild animals been domesticated, but so far there is no criteria for that propose. This research is a prelimenary effort in providing those criteria. This research began in April to May 2013. The first step was to establish the norm of Suitable range of as many as 17 variables required for upholding the elephant life domestication area. The Suitable norm range we determined through an exhausted study of previous researchs or literature available. The next step was to determined the Less Suitable and the Not Suitable norms range for those 17 variables employed, e.i. by deviating by 25% and by 50% from the Suitable norm range respectively. The second step, we employed a Delphi Method in order to validate and refinary the three catagorical norms range of the 17 varibles concerned by mean of asking to some elaphant experts in our country. We, then applied the deemed criteria to evaluate a practice of ephants management at The Sumatra Elephant Conservation Center (PKG) and the Elephant Response Unit (ERU), Way Kambas National Park. The research results: (1) We obtained the prelimenary criteria as a rubric for Sumatran elephant domestication, and (2) The elephant nurturing practices at PKG and ERU were Suitable, except for the variables of population density, home range and elephant shading.

Network mapping in the development of elephant conservation center in North Sumatra, Indonesia

“…Based on Table 4, conservation is the aspect that most of the actors interacted with in the network. Of course, this is in accordance with the main objectives of development of the elephant center to conserve captive elephant (Daim 2001;Laohachaiboon 2010;Meytasari et al 2014;Nyhus et al 2000). It is also done at the ANECC to ensure a viable habitat and at the same time to maintain Sumatran elephants.…”

“…Translocation of elephants to conservation centers is one of the ex-situ methods to prevent human-wildlife conflict between communities and elephants (Chartier et al 2011;Daim 2001;Parr et al 2008;Tipprasert 2002;Perera 2009;Zafir and Magintan 2006). Even though the elephants are not living in their natural habitat, the minimum requirements such as area, natural habitat, treatment, feeding, supervisors, and supporting facilities must be met by the elephant conservation managers (Meytasari et al 2014). The elephant conservation center has several objectives including to preserve elephant population, to develop knowledge about elephants, and to provide educational and nature recreational sites (Daim 2001;Tipprasert 2002;Kontogeorgopoulos 2009;Kuswanda et al 2018).…”

STUDI PERILAKU MAKAN GAJAH SUMATERA (Elephas maximus sumatranus) PADA INDUK DAN ANAK GAJAH DI Elepant Respon Unit (ERU) TEGAL YOSOTAMAN NASIONAL WAY KAMBAS

“…Perilaku harian untuk minum lebih didominansi oleh anak gajah dibandingkan induknya yaitu (9,02%) dan induk hanya (1,50%) (Gambar 1). Menurut Meytasari et al (2014) Gajah sumatera membutuhkan air untuk minum sebanyak 50-150 liter/hari dengan menghisap 9 -10L air setiap kalinya. anak yang masih umur 5 bulan membutuhkan jumlah air yang besar, hal ini disebabkan oleh anak gajah masih dalam fase menyusui.…”
