“…Locations of human-wildlife conflicts are generally in areas close to forest landscapes. This is due to the area in this study is a lowland that that rich in food sources [10] [11] [12] but is close (>1 Km from the forest landscape area) to residential areas so that it triggers conflict.…”

The intensity of wildlife conflicts with humans has recently tended to increase. The conflict between humans and wildlife is a problem that can cause material losses and loss of life. Conflicts can occur because of the lack of food resources in the forest. Another factor is the high rate of land conversion; forest ecosystems are converted into plantation land. This problem is worrying because numerous wild animals descend into human settlement areas to find food and cause conflict with humans. This study was conducted in March 2021 in nine villages around Gunung Leuser National Park (GLNP), Management Section of National Park (MNSP) VI Besitang. The purpose of this study was to calculate how much loss was caused by wildlife-human conflicts in the village around the MNSP VI Besitang, GLNP. This study found that conflicts between humans and wildlife are incredibly detrimental. The method used in this research is an open interview with the community and key respondents with purposive sampling, counting crop damage, livestock eaten, harvest failure, building damage, and fatalities caused by human-wildlife conflict. This study also includes the time lost by the community due to the conflict, which differs from similar studies. The study’s results found a value economic loss in Besitang is Rp. 224,254,550 /year.

“…Sumatran elephants sometimes unknowingly demolish human buildings. This is not without reason, as some of the locals' plantations are in locations where elephants once roamed and are prone to human-elephants conflicts [10]. The largest losses result from harvest failure, with a total loss of Rp.…”

“…The longer the distance of elephant movement from the road, the movement period will increase. Similar to the distance from settlements, the distance from the road is closely related to human activity (Sulistiyono et al 2019). As a sensitive animal, human existence will significantly determine the movement of elephants.…”

Abstract. Laksmitha N, Santosa Y, Rahman DA. 2023. Factors affecting movement pattern of Sumatran elephant in Air Rami Production Forest, Bengkulu, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 24: 5539-5546. The decline in the quality and quantity of elephant natural habitat is a trigger factor for human-elephant conflict and results in a decrease in the elephant population. Research related to movement and habitat factors determining elephant movement is important to obtain information that can be used as a basis for conflict management and mitigation in the long term. We analyzed collared GPS data from a female adult elephant (n=1) in Air Rami Production Forest with recordings from November 2020 to August 2022. This study aims to investigate the relationship between the Sumatran elephant’s daily movement distance and movement period with habitat factors. The data obtained were analyzed using multiple regression analysis with tested variables, including secondary forest land cover, altitude, slope, distance from water sources, settlements, roads, and daily movement distance/movement period. The results showed that secondary forest land cover, slopes, movement period, distance from water sources, settlements, and roads influence the elephant's daily movement distance. Meanwhile, the relationship between the movement period is only influenced by slopes, distance from settlements and roads, and daily movement distance. Our study further provides information recognizing the preferred habitat factor of the Sumatran elephant, which gives stakeholders an essential tool for conservation.

The conflict between humans and wildlife tends to increase lately, especially the human-elephant conflict (HEC). The high level of human activity around the forest causes an increase in the rate of forest destruction. The opening of agricultural land in and around the forest, causing the elephant habitat to become narrow so that the elephant looks for new space to move to community land. HEC occurs when elephants and humans fight over the same resource. The purpose of this study is to obtain information on the characteristics of the spatial distribution of human-elephant conflict in Besitang. The method used in this study is the analysis of HEC points overlay with several biophysical variables using GIS. The results of this study show that the distribution of HEC occurs mostly in sloping areas with low topography and areas relatively close to forests, plantations / agricultural communities, settlements, and rivers.
