#Burnsteem25 || Writing Competition Or Invitation: Writing Is Art || Visiting one of the CRU (Conservation Response Units) in Aceh.

Hello, good night everyone, I hope you are all in good condition and also given mental health and physical health so that you can all be able to carry out activities as usual.

Wednesday, June 01 2022, it's been a very long time we haven't traveled with my friends because we have lots of work or our own busyness, so today how come we have planned to go there a long time ago.

Before we go deep, I will explain a little about what is meant by CRU (Conservation Response Unit) is an institution established to anticipate or resolve conflicts that occur between humans and elephants, but not only that is their job but they are also tasked with preventing poaching of protected animals such as elephant tusks in particular.

And this time we went to a CRU in our area, namely CRU Cot Girek before we went there we first told the CRU people for us to come visit them and we asked them whether we could visit or not and they allowed us to come there.

Before getting there, we first stopped at the supermarket to buy some snacks and also drank canned drinks for us to give to the officers who were there, because we wouldn't dare to come there without bringing anything, that's why we even bought some food for them.

To get there we also have to pass through various kinds of very extreme terrain and also if it rains the road cannot be passed by two-wheeled vehicles, after a 2 hour drive from Lhoksukon we got there and were greeted by them and we chatted for a while, and coincidentally that day the force was behind the CRU building.

And we all watched carefully how the officers there took care of the elephant, it was very clear from the look on the officers' faces and also the elephant was very familiar like brother and sister, that's what the officers there said, they made the elephant a friend and they considered them as their own brothers.

After being bathed, the elephant was brought back upstairs to be fed and also became a photo opportunity for visitors who come visit on that day.

After a while we fed the elephants, we felt that it was already evening and we immediately took some photos as documentation that we had arrived here and we also thanked the officers there for allowing us to visit there.

We got a lot of new knowledge from there And also the officers there are very friendly and they also told us that they are very lacking in terms of support from the government, therefore maybe in the future this elephant conservation center will be better and can protect the ecosystem that is in the forest.
