AKARTA: Actor Nicholas Saputra, 32, is aiding a campaign to protect elephants in Indonesia; appearing in Save Our Forest Giants, a documentary that follows the European Union conservation program that is currently operating within Tangkahan Park, North Sumatra.
“My first close encounter with an elephant was 10 years ago in Tangkahan. Ever since that moment I have had a fondness for the animal,” he said at a screening for the documentary on Sunday as quoted by tribunnews.com.
“Look into the eyes of an elephant, it’s an indescribable feeling,” he said.
The overwhelming feeling Nicholas felt saw him travel to elephant habitats in an effort to learn about conservation efforts.
European Union Ambassador Vincent Guérend, Tangkahan conservation executive Wahdi Azmi and the general director for nature and ecosystem conservation with the Environment and Forestry Ministry, Tachrir Fathoni, also attended the screening. — JP
