Elephants are designated as endangered animals because their population in the wild continues to decline. One of the causes of its extinction is the threat of conflict between elephants and humans. The conflict between Sumatran elephants and humans in Aceh continues to increase every year, but there is no resolution to this conflict. This study was aimed to analyse the level of risk of elephant-human conflict in the Mila area and map the conflict areas. The method used was the observation method with the purposive sampling technique. The data was analysed using the disaster risk formula. The results of the analysis of the risk level of elephant-human conflict in Mila District showed that the high-risk level was in Tuha Lala Village (35.24%), Babah Jurong Village (35.22%) and Kumbang Village (35.04%). The level of risk was moderate in Krueng Lala Village (27.64%), Andeue Mosque Village (30.38%) and Dayah Andeue Village (33.38%). Meanwhile, areas with a low-risk level were Kulu Village (21.65%) and Dayah Sinthop Village (20.32%). The mapping of conflict risk areas was coloured red for high risk, yellow for medium risk and green for low risk. The conclusion in this study is that Tula Lala Village, Babah Jurong Village and Kumbang Village are areas with high conflict marked in red. Krueng Lala Village, Andeu Mosque Village and Andeue Dayah Village are areas with moderate conflict which are marked in yellow. Meanwhile, Kulu Village and Dayah Sinthop Village are areas with low conflict marked in green.
Birds are often used as indicators to describe the state of biodiversity, which means areas that are important for birds are also important for other flora and fauna. In addition, the distribution area of birds is well known, so that important regional livelihoods using birds as indicators can be carried out quickly and comprehensively. This research was conducted in February 2021, aiming to observe the habitat conditions of the Accipitridae family birds in Tahura Pocut Meurah Intan, Aceh Province. The method used in this research is an exploratory survey method. Data collection in the field by placing 15 observation points and 3 line transects is combined using the “look down method” and “upward observation”. Data analysis using principal component analysis (PCA) method. The results obtained that the area of suitable habitat (suitable) with good categories for bird species of the family Accipitridae of 4306, 106 ha or 69.23% and the medium category, which is available for food and accessible, but there is no reproductive location and has a high level of disturbance. of 1727, 294 ha (27.77 %). Birds of the Accipitridae family can carry out activities and find prey in three different forest types, namely primary, secondary and open forests.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
