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.

As is known, adult animals weigh from two to four thousand kilograms. In captivity, females can live up to 75 years, males up to 60. Interestingly, Sumatran elephant calves stand on their feet within 10-30 minutes after birth.

According to data from open sources, these animals are threatened with extinction due to deforestation (from 1980 to 2005, 69% of their potential habitat was lost) and poachers who hunt for ivory.
