Tóm tắt :

The population of the Asiatic elephant (Elephas maximus) in Dong Nai Province is one of the two most important elephant populations in Vietnam. Nevertheless, the expansion of agricultural land in the area is posing some potential for human-elephant conflict. Perhaps the looming conflict is the consequence of the death of the six elephants recently found in this area. In this paper, we present a summary of the population status, range and habitat of the elephant, and of the debate on conservation opportunities and the conflict that is emerging in this area. The information also aims to provide a better understanding of this important elephant population and the need for conservation action to secure the survival of this key elephant population in Vietnam. A total of 10-12 individuals of the elephants remaining in this area were identified during our study. The population is limited to a triangular area of 34,000 hectares of the Cat Tien National Park, Vinh Cuu Nature Reserve and Relics and the La Nga State Forest Enterprise. The home range of this population has remained unchanged over the last two year period (2008-2009), but the population has a tendency to move its activity, for example by feeding closer to the agricultural area. The preferred habitats of this population are mixed bamboo and wood land, mixed evergreen and deciduous forest, and mixed forest and agricultural land (transaction areas). However, mixed bamboo and wood land is the most preferable habitat. Currently the human-elephant conflict is rather peaceful, but serious conflict seems to be emerging due to the frequent feeding by elephants on agricultural and fruit crops of the local community. Hence, to secure the survival of this important elephant population in the area, some necessary activity should be seriously considered. For example, elephant and wildlife conservation planning should be better synchronized with local land use planning that aims to avoid the planting of agricultural crops and fruit trees in elephant-active areas. Conservation education to mitigate elephant-human conflict is also an aim, including a detailed population monitoring for this important elephant population.
