Tahura SSH is managed by UPT KPHP Minas Tahura and is described in the report as a 6,172 hectare conservation area across Pekanbaru City, Siak Regency, and Kampar Regency, with protected flora and fauna, including Sumatran elephant. The report notes that conflict has increased as habitat and food sources decline, and identifies 11 wild elephants in Tahura SSH that frequently come into conflict with nearby communities, particularly around encroached areas converted to plantations.
The report frames this work as an ecosystem restoration intervention designed to support land rehabilitation while contributing to elephant conflict mitigation, implemented in partnership with the Tahura management unit and supported through PLN’s CSR programme.
Delivery combined early coordination and institutional strengthening with the Tahura authority and stakeholders, formation of a joint work group, technical guidance for field workers, and periodic monitoring and accompaniment. The report describes coordination, technical oversight, and adaptive scheduling in response to seasonal risk, but it does not describe a formal safeguards framework, FPIC process, or grievance mechanism.
Activities followed a staged sequence, alignment and work group formation, technical guidance and planning, procurement and site preparation, then planting and maintenance timed to rainfall. In parallel, the team implemented an enrichment block to strengthen plant collections in the Tahura, and delivered a short MSME training component requested under the same TJSL supported package.
The report documents completion of the planned field package, planting across 10 hectares, maintenance actions for both new and prior year bamboo sites, enrichment planting on 1 hectare, and an MSME training activity delivered under the same CSR supported workplan. Outputs are supported by reported participation counts, planted and maintained area figures, input quantities, and a post planting survival census.
The report states the 2024 activity package was completed and generally proceeded as planned, with key adjustments driven by operational constraints and seasonal risk management. Scheduling was delayed by Idul Adha holidays and a Tahura festival on 26 June 2024, and bamboo planting was postponed until August to avoid high mortality during the dry period. A September survival census reported 76 percent survival for the newly planted bamboo, and the report recommends multi year follow up support to sustain survival and reach intended outcomes related to land cover improvement and elephant forage availability.
