Komunitas Untuk Hutan Sumatera

Its a topic very close to our founder Joanne Reilley's heart, as her doctorate research was on the Asian elephant in Sumatra and resulted in a new, better way to age elephants from their dung (not as bad as it sounds, honest!), a study of captive elephants in one of the governments elephant centres and strategies for helping local communities suffering the brunt of human-elephant conflict. Proceeds from The Kinvara Elephant Bracelet will go to Komunitas Untuk Hutan Sumatera, an Indonesian non-profit conservation organisation, established in 2015.

Wild and Captive Elephants

What makes this project unique is its work on both the wild and captive elephants in Sumatra. Captive elephants, most of whom are wild-born but have been captured in response to incidents of human-elephant conflict, have often been overlooked and need very specific help and resources.

Conditions in captive elephant centres are challenging, the cost and requirements for keeping an elephant in captivity for its whole life are huge and releasing elephants is often not an option as growing habitat pressure reduces their habitat and forces them into conflict with farmers, plantations and neighbouring communities. It is very complicated so please remember that especially if you see pictures that look distressing. Know that many good people are working hard to do their best in very imperfect conditions.
Their work covers huge territories and they need all the support they can get, check out their facebook page HERE if you want to give them a follow and see more of what they are working on.

Tip: Some people add a drop of their favourite essential oil to the bracelet and wear it to enjoy a natural scent throughout the day. If you like that idea then just remember to drop the oil onto the bracelet when it's off your arm and stop at any sign of irritation.
