Elephant the habitat of the Sumatran elephant, namely the natural forest on the island of Sumatra, is being severely damaged. This condition causes the loss of part of the elephant's habitat so that conflicts between humans often occur in the long term which will threaten the survival of this largest land mammal.

Sumatran elephants eat grass, leaves, twigs, tubers and sometimes fruits. There are at least 69 species of plants that can be used as food for elephants. These plants consist of 29 groups of grasses and 40 groups of non-grass plants. Sumatran elephants are known to prefer grass

Elephants are social animals that live in groups. Groups play an important role in maintaining the survival of elephants. The number of group members varies greatly. It depends on the condition of natural resources and the area of habitat. Sumatran elephants can be found in groups of 20-35 individuals, but there are also herds of only 3 individuals. Each group is led by a female. While the males are in the group for a certain period only. Old elephants will live apart from their group until they die

Sumatran elephants are very sensitive to sounds. To mate and breed, elephants need a calm and comfortable atmosphere. The sound of heavy equipment and chainsaws disturbs elephant breeding.
