AMBI: The habitat of two large groups of elephants were reported to be in danger of extinction following a plan by PT Lestari Asri Jaya, a subsidiary of PT Barito Pacifi TBK, to open an enclave of forest.
The company has recently been granted an exclusive right to manage 61,500 hectares of forest area in Tebo regency, as stipulated by a Forestry Ministry letter.
Arnold Sitompul, the head of the Indonesian Elephant Conservation, said the area was home to two large groups of elephants, called Semambu and Riau-Jambi.
