The increase in the human population has an impact on the expansion of the agricultural and plantation sectors. This causes a decrease in the amount of forest area which results in conflicts between humans and elephants. The purpose of the study was to determine the people's perception of the Sumatran elephant conflict and to determine the existence of male Sumatran elephants. The research was conducted in August 2022 at CRU Sampoiniet, Ie Jeureungeh village, Aceh Jaya district, Aceh province. The research method is descriptive qualitative and focal animal sampling. Data was collected by means of interviews, observation, and documentation. The results of the study revealed that the conflict between wild elephants had decreased since the existence of the CRU Sampoiniet who helped overcome the wild elephant conflict in the village area of ​​Ie Jeureungeh, however, currently there are still some minor disturbances and have an impact on the surrounding community. Some people want the environment around their plantations to be bordered by elephants through electric fences. Based on the results of observations, there are two types of feed provided by the manager and consumed by the tame elephants, namely sensitive plant (Mimosa pudica), cogon grass (Imperata cylindrica).

The lack of knowledge and understanding of the people of Mila District on animal conservation causes conflicts between animals and the local community. One method that can be used to increase public understanding of the importance of maintaining elephant conservation is to apply the blended learning method. The purpose of this study was to determine the effectiveness of blended learning to increase public understanding of elephant conservation. This research was conducted in July 2022 in Mila sub-district, Pidie district. The research method used is an experimental method and the research design used is a questionnaire. Data was collected using a questionnaire in the experimental class and the control class with 25 respondents each. Analysis of the questionnaire data used a Likert scale by calculating the number of scores, then normality, and homogeneity tests were carried out to test the hypothesis using the independent t-test. The results of this study obtained the average score of the experimental class was 106.80 and the control class was 80.60. Questionnaire score data is data that is normally distributed with a value of (0.503>0.05) for the experimental class and (0.482>0.005) for the control class. Questionnaire score data is homogeneous data with a value (0.353> 0.05). The value of the hypothesis test is (0.000 <0.05). This study concludes that there are differences or improvements between blended learning and conventional methods

Carbon storage is the total weight of carbon stored in the ecosystem at a certain time, especially in natural forests in the Tripa peat swamp area of Aceh Barat Daya. Peatlands are wetland ecosystems that are formed by the accumulation of organic matter on the forest floor from weathering of the vegetation on it over a long period of time. The research objectives were 1) to calculate peat soil carbon storage and 2) to measure the depth of peat soil in natural forest in the Tripa peat swamp area, Aceh Barat Daya Regency. The research activity was carried out from February to March 2021, in a natural forest in the Tripa Aceh Barat peat swamp area, divided into three stations and at each station, three sampling plots were made. Data collection using purposive sampling technique, Analysis of carbon stock was analyzed using the formula for calculating carbon stock by entering data on the percentage of soil organic carbon in the laboratory, and data on peat depth in a descriptive analysis. The results showed that the amount of peat soil carbon storage, especially in natural forest in the Tripa Aceh Barat Daya peat swamp area, was 2.556 tons/ha and the peat depth range was fibric with a depth of 0-95 cm, hemic 96-292 cm, and substance 293-310.
