Descriere:
epa07732495 (20/26) An Acehnese villager holds up a firecracker used to scare off wild elephants in Negeri Antara, Aceh, Indonesia, 13 February 2019. Across Aceh province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, new plantations and a housing construction boom are threatening the natural environment, pitting humans against the already-critically endangered wild elephants in a fatal conflict which the native Sumatran pachyderm is certain to lose. The elephantsâ impending extinction is palpable across the country, but nowhere more so than in Aceh, where only 500 remain in the wild. Clashes in Aceh between elephants and humans are reportedly the highest of anywhere in the country. The opening up of new palm oil plantations, illegal hunting, including for ivory, and large scale illegal logging are the main causes for the increasingly prevalent clashes between humans and elephants in Aceh. Efforts are being made by the Aceh government and the community to reduce conflicts with wild elephants, but so far with little success. The Aceh government encourages driving wild elephants away in a non-lethal manner. For example, by using fireworks and firecrackers. But in reality many are killed by shooting or trapping using painful iron cable traps, or poisoned, or electrocuted.
