Sumatran Ranger Project
Share
A grassroots community conservation program focusing on protecting the forest edge in the threatened Leuser Ecosystem. We employ a ranger patrol team to patrol the forest edge collecting data on flora and fauna, land use, human-wildlife conflict; remove snares; engage with and support forest edge communities; mitigate human-wildlife conflict and help provide educational outreach to forest edge com
Elephants can hear even the smallest of sounds. This (very muddy) mature bull pauses in front of the trail camera, likely after hearing the faint click of the camera's lens. Even though their hearing is exceptional, their eyesight is not nearly as strong. Lucky for us, getting a good look at something requires him to get nice and close!
Camera traps are an effective, noninvasive tool that allow the Sumatran Rangers to collect valuable behavioral data. By using these cameras, rangers can track monthly patterns and trends in how wild Sumatran elephants move along the border of the Gunung Leuser National Park, without disturbing the animals.
By understanding these trends, the Sumatran Ranger Project can better support the people who live near these elephant travel routes.
