In Indonesia (and throughout Southeast Asia), elephants have been used as livestock for thousands of years, just as horses are in Europe and America. The elephants are bred and spend their weekdays in the jungle, not in cages or enclosures. They have been used for centuries as a means of transport through the jungle to combat illegal loggers and poachers.

The patrol elephants and park rangers in Tangkahan have our utmost respect.
