Comments / picturesMinas Elephant Training Center is run by the Indonesian government.

Shrinking elephant habitat in Riau Province has led to escalation of human-elephant conflict and as one of the alternative that the government takes is capturing problem elephants and put them into Minas elephant Training Center.


The 7th Indonesian Mahout Workshop hosted by FOKMAS (Indonesian Mahout Communication Forum) was held from February 24-27, 2015, at the Minas government elephant training center located in the province of Riau in Sumatra, Indonesia. Seventy participants attended the workshop and represented most of the Sumatran government elephant camps, Conservation Response Units (CRUs), and other elephant patrol units in Sumatra, as well as several zoos and safari parks from Sumatra, Java, and Bali. The majority of participants were mahouts, but some camp managers and veterinarians from private facilities also attended.
