This project will undertake an intensive survey of the Asian elephant and Sumatran rhino to provide data on their population size,age structure, habitat usage and distribution around the park. This information will be vital in the management of these species and will provide material for use in establishing an awareness campaign, focused on conservation, the parks ecology and its important role in Sumatra and internationally. The field team is composed of representatives from PHPA, the University of Lampung, Ireland and the UK, each bringing their own valuable skills and experiences. It is an excellent working example of international co-operation in the fight to protect Indonesia’s wondrous wildlife.
The project has the approval and support of the World Conservation Union (IUCN), World Wide Fund for Nature(WWF), BirdLife International, the Fauna and Flora Preservation Society, the Royal Geographical Society and many others. Financial support has been received from British Petroleum, the British Embassy in Indonesia and British Airways as well as many other organizations and companies.
