Meanwhile, the Head of the Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park (TNBBS) Resort Suoh, Sulki, also said that the herd of wild elephants began to approach the settlement on Wednesday 25 January, around 06.00 WIB.
According to him, the herd of elephants had been observed approaching residents' settlements, having previously been successfully escorted by officers to their natural habitat in the forest area of the TNBBS.
"Currently we are still monitoring the movements of the herd of wild elephants so that the herd does not return to our settlements. We have also coordinated with the task force, village officials, and the local community to guard them", he said.
He added, currently the herd of elephants has been successfully blockaded and has entered the forest area, but his party cannot predict this, because the elephant herds have often been blocked and are still approaching and destroying residents' land.
