Sumatran Elephants Threatened With Extinction In Indonesia

Sumatran elephants being trained at the Minas Elephant Training Centre on August 10, 2019 in Siak, Riau Province, Indonesia. Illegal loggers who are destroying the habitat of Sumatran elephants are becoming increasingly endangered due to the destruction of their habitat by logging, palm oil and rubber industrie The condition of Sumatra elephant habitat in Riau is currently becoming more fragmented because there had been many changes in land use. Human and elephant conflict (HEC) increases in its occurrence. The status of Sumatran Elephant has been escalated from endangered into critically endangered by International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List in 2012. This mostly because the Sumatran Elephants have significant reduction in population number as indicated by the loss of over 69% of its potential habitat in just one generation (the last 25 years). The greatest threats to Sumatran elephants are habitat loss, fragmentation, and degradation; illegal killing (e.g. for their ivory and other products or in retaliation for human-elephant conflicts); and the loss of genetic viability resulting from small population size and isolation
