這個工作營由當地政府和野生動物保護組織合作,幫助威坎巴斯國家公園的大象保護中心進行大象保育工作。我們的項目不是觀光景點,而是一個專門保育大象的地方,因為大象的數量正急劇下降,而非法寄宿的現象更加威脅到牠們的生命。我們會協助管理員監察和照顧大象,以及保護牠們的環境。
此工作營是一個難得的機會,能夠親身參與保護大象和維護自然環境的工作,並與志同道合的國際參加者一同體驗這段難忘的旅程!不要錯過報名的機會,現在就行動吧!
Currently the conflict between elephants and human are rising because they have less area to live. Elephants are being squeezed into smaller area, since the local farmer plant the crops and elephants like to destroy and eat them. As a result, the elephants frequently raid and destroy the crops which will cause a conflict between human and elephant.
Due to this reason, local government and organization which concerns about the wild life are working together to save or conserve the elephants and reduce the conflict. This project aiming to assist local governmental office named Way Kambas National Park which located in Elephant Conservation Centre to conserve the sanctuary.
Our project IS NOT a safari place, but it is mostly as a place for elephant conservation which facing problem of critical decreasing population and threats due to illegal lodging which endanger their life.
All of the elephants in the PKG are chained when they were in the stall during the night. The purpose of putting chain in one of their legs is for monitoring, handle the elephants when they are stress, to distinguish between the PKG’s elephants and the wild one.
The mahout using special tool called “gancu” (little iron hammer with curve point) to handle the elephant. The way how to use the gancu is by touching gently behind the elephant’s ear and sometimes on its head.
