Hello World,
The green of the tropical forests of Riau, where animals live, including the long proboscis Sumatran elephants (Elephas maximus sumatranus) with a cruising range 20 km per day searching for food in the form of 150 kg of leaves and 180 liters of water per day. Large mammals that can reach the age of 70 this year require a forest habitat is very wide for his life.

So that the land in search of food and drink semaki rarely found, as well as forest conversion into agricultural lahanlahan, resulting in feed and water sources are naturally much lower. Make the sparks of conflict between elephants and humans seeking to eat a plant a food source. Victims began to fall, causing a decline in elephant populations.

So that the collection of large mammals was start looking for 'a place to eat "the other is by attacking the gardens which have abundant food, such as oil palm. Kembang Bunga village in the District of Lubuk Ukui elephant attacks almost throughout the year, so that villagers are not able to cultivate oil for fear of being attacked elephants. By its very nature (behavior), elephants are divided into two, namely, and (in groups) are usually dominated by a collection of female elephants and male elephants single (solitary), which is always alone.
Increasing elephant conflict caused by the attack, where the elephants were trying to defend the population, where the habitat has been interrupted by human activities such as land clearing for agriculture and community gardens, thus resulting in the emergence of conflict and the killing of elephants, which automatically reduces populasinya.Ini will make increasingly high threat to the extinction of these animals.(http://www.wwf.or.id/berita_fakta/berita_fakta/?6120/Jumlah-Gajah-Sumatera--Elephas-maximus-di-Riau-Tinggal-600-ekor)
