AES is supporting a knowledge exchange between highly experienced Mahouts from the Way Kambas Elephant Response Units (ERU) in Sumatra, Indonesia and recently hired Mahouts for a new patrol unit in the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park.
This new ERU unit is being established to protect the park’s wildlife population, including critically endangered wild Sumatran elephants. A big THANK YOU to the ERU Mahouts for their dedication and to our field partner Komunitas Untuk Hutan Sumatera
