In the Indonesian nature park Buluh Cina there is good news. A baby Sumatran elephant was born there.
In 2011, the International Union for Conservation of Nature recognized that they are on the verge of extinction. This was reported on the page of the Riau Natural Resources Center on Instagram.
The baby elephant weighing about 104 kilograms was born on November 4. The baby's parents are 24-year-old Ngatini and 25-year-old male Robin. Mother and cub are in good condition and willing to eat.
The birth of this baby elephant further enriches the biodiversity of the Buluh Cina Wildlife Park and is a testament to the success of efforts to conserve Sumatran elephants in Riau province, said the conservation agency.
