Just like some of the world's other flagship species, the Sumatran elephant remains a major focus of the conservation and protection efforts in Indonesia's Forestry and Other Land Use (FOLU) NET SINK 2030 operational plan which was launched by the country's Environment and Forestry Minister Siti Nurbaya in March this year.

The Indonesian Environment and Forestry Ministry is continuing to make consistent and substantial efforts to ensure that forest carbon governance remains on a legal track following the issuance of the landmark presidential regulation on the country's economic value of carbon, which was signed by President Joko Widodo in October last year.
