Abstract

Negative interactions between elephants and humans can cause harm to both parties, one of the efforts made is the implementation of the Elephant Response Unit (ERU) in helping to handle negative interactions between Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) and humans. This study aims to determine the activities and tasks of the Elephant Response Unit (ERU) in handling negative interactions in the area around Way Kambas National Park (TNWK). Data collection was carried out by conducting observations, open interviews and collecting documentation in the form of photos of activities. The research includes direct observation of the border between forest areas and buffer villages, forest security patrols, expulsion of wild elephants and care for tame elephants. The results from direct observations show that there is no infrastructure such as canals and embankments that are evenly distributed in the area around TNWK and the lack of active participation of the community in several buffer villages in helping to handle negative interactions. Security patrol activities are in the form of tracking to identify and look for the presence of illegal activities carried out by humans in forest areas and elephant eviction patrols using tame elephants to repel wild elephants. The management of activities carried out by the Elephant Response Unit (ERU) is very important because it can help handle negative interactions between elephants and humans and safeguard forest areas.

Abstract

Keberhasilan program konservasi harus didukung adanya partisipasi dan komitmen yang tinggi atas program tersebut. Dengan demikian diperlukan adanya pengelolaan kolaboratif semua pihak. Paling penting dalam kolaborasi ini adalah masyarakat sekitar kawasan konservasi yang mempunyai kearifan lokal dan aturan adat. Partisipasi masyarakat secara mandiri diharapkan akan mendukung keberlanjutan fungsi dari Kawasan konservasi lokasi Pengabdian Kepada Masyarakat (PKM), yaitu Taman Nasional Way Kambas, lebih khususnya adalah masyarakat Desa Rajabasa Lama I, Kecamatan Labuhan Ratu. Kegiatan PKM telah dilaksanakan pada tanggal 1 Agustus 2022 dengan diikuti oleh 59 orang dan 29 orangnya adalah masyarakat di desa tersebut. Setelah dilaksanakan pretest dan posttest diperoleh hasil bahwa terjadi peningkatan pengetahuan dan pemahaman masyarakat tentang pentingnya program kemitraan konservasi di desa mereka.

Abstract

The Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is one of three species of Asian elephant which has become one of the priority wild animals on the island of Sumatra by Indonesian government policy. This species has been categorized as critically endangered (CE) according to the IUCN in 2012. One of the nature reserves in Way Kambas National Park (TNWK) is the Elephant Training Center (PLG) which is a breeding ground for Sumatran elephants and functions as a place for animal conservation. The average quantity of elephant faeces in the WKNP is 5,090 kg/day from a total of 61 tame elephants in both the PLG and the Elephant Response Unit (ERU). This waste is not used optimally, so it is feared that it will pollute the environment if it is not handled properly and appropriately. This PKM activity aims to increase public understanding regarding the importance of processing elephant feces through the production of block compost. PKM activities were carried out at the Rawa Bunder Research Center in Way Kambas National Park, Labuhan Ratu District, East Lampung Regency on June 21 2023. The method used in carrying out PKM activities was carried out through the FGD (Focus Group Discussion) method, namely providing material and discussion or asking questions responsibility and practice of block composting. Respondents who represented the community around Rawa Bunder experienced an increase in understanding after participating in PKM. They obtained an average pretest score of 8.45 and a posttest of 9.30. Increased understanding of around 0.85 after giving material to the community.
