The Sumatran elephant is a majestic species. Capable of reaching a shoulder height of between 2 and 3.2 m (6.6 and 10.5 ft), the Sumatran elephant weighs between 2,000 and 4,000 kg (4,400 and 8,800 lb) and possesses 20 pairs of ribs. But while they were once found in abundance, today the Sumatran elephants are critically endangered.<\/p>\n

\"RAPP<\/a><\/p>\n

The World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF<\/a>) is one of the NGOs that has taken a special interest in the population of the Sumatran elephants living in the Sumatran habitat. In its latest report<\/a>, the WWF noted that elephant deaths declined to four in 2016 from 10 in 2015.<\/p>\n

While WWF believes that the four deaths were due to human-animal conflicts, the NGO specializing in wilderness preservation singled out<\/a> PT Riau Andalan Pulp and Paper (RAPP<\/a>), the operations arm of APRIL<\/a>, and Asian Agri<\/a> for praise by being involved in the effort to reduce harm to the Sumatran elephants and by adopting the human-wildlife conflict mitigation system recommended by the WWF and the Natural Resource Conservation Agency (BKSDA) of Riau.<\/p>\n
