JAKARTA - A Sumatran tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae), entered a trap cage installed in the Pekon (Village) Rawas plantation area, Central Coast District, West Coast Regency, Lampung.
Secretary of the West Coast Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) Hermansyah confirmed that one of the three trap cages installed in the area is now bearing fruit with the entry of a tiger into a trap.
"Yes, it is reported that there is indeed one tiger entering a trap cage installed in the Atar Labu Wai area, Pekon Rawas," he said as quoted by ANTARA, Monday, February 17.
He said the tiger entered a trap cage on Monday (17/2). The BKSDA medical team has moved to the location to check the condition of the protected wildlife.
"Now the tigers are still at the location of the trap cage waiting for the BKSDA team and Dr animals from the province to be isolated and evacuated, which is planned to be carried out tonight," he said.
Previously, joint officers consisting of members of the TNI Polri, BPBD, Natural Resources Conservation Center (BKSDA), village and sub-district governments, set traps or trap cages to catch Sumatran tigers reportedly repeatedly preying on livestock and pet dogs from residents on the West Coast.

Therefore, with the entry of tigers into the trap cage, he hopes that people will continue to limit their activities in the plantation area where the wild animals are visible.
"Although tigers are being caught, we are still urging local residents to limit their activities in the location area of other trap cage pairs and limit them to the garden at certain hours because there may be other tigers," he said.*
