Thanks to our donors, the International Elephant Project supports the dedicated team at Sumatera Hijau Lestari (SHL) who are striving toward the long-term goal of revitalising the Sumatran elephant population in Langkat Regency, Sumatra.
Central to their efforts is the meticulous monitoring of elephant populations. They have commenced an innovative elephant identification project by using a combination of direct observations and strategically placed camera traps. To ensure effectiveness, camera traps are deployed in areas exhibiting fresh signs of elephant activity and are regularly monitored to prevent theft or damage.
Despite being in its early stages, the project has already yielded significant results with ten elephants being successfully identified. Recently, an enchanting video captured by a camera trap showcased a close-up encounter with two elephants.
Looking ahead, our aim is to expand our database to encompass a significant portion of the adult elephant population in the region. This comprehensive dataset will enable us to monitor their movements closely, gaining crucial insights into population dynamics.
Ongoing donor support is pivotal in driving forward these critical conservation efforts to safeguard the future of Sumatra's elephants and the ecosystems they inhabit.
