The West Aceh Regency Government noted that at least 38 hectares of oil palm plantation land owned by the community in the area were damaged by disturbances to the Sumatran elephant wildlife.
"This 38 hectare land is temporary estimation data that we collect from information from the public and village heads," said Zulkifli, Sungai Mas sub-district head, West Aceh Regency, quoted from ANTARA, Sunday, February 9.
It is known that the area of oil palm plantations most targeted by Sumatran elephants is in Tanoh Mirah Village, Sungai Mas District, West Aceh Regency.
Meanwhile, in other villages, such as Lancong, Gleng, Drien Sibak and other villages in Sungai Mas District, West Aceh Regency, elephant food was also targeted.
Zulkifli also said that the area of the oil palm plantation that was targeted by the elephant had occurred from 2023 to 2025.

Although they had received treatment from related parties, the Sumatran elephant often returned to residential areas and made people frightened, and caused damage to farmers' gardens.
The West Aceh Regency Government hopes that elephant disturbances in remote areas will be a serious concern for related parties in Aceh.
"This is an effort to avoid community losses due to damage to productive plants, as well as prevent the spread of conflicts between elephants and humans in West Aceh Regency," he said.
