The FZS (Frankfurt Zoological Society) have been running some successful projects in the Jambi region of Sumatra. One of those being the tracking of wild elephants through the use of radio collars.

This helps prevent human/elephant conflict and further deaths of the critically endangered Sumatran elephant.
