An elephant and her calf at the Elephant Flying Squad in Tesso Nilo National Park in Indonesia. Flying Squad consists of four trained adult elephants and eight elephant handlers called mahouts, which are deployed to drive wild elephants back into the forest when they stray into nearby villages or farms.
The Tesso Nilo forest complex has one of the world’s highest recorded diversities of plants and supports key populations of critically endangered Sumatran elephants and tigers.
