Abstract

The Sumatran elephant (Elephas maximus sumatranus) is an endemic species of Sumatra currently facing extinction, primarily due to ongoing habitat loss driven by human activities. The availability of natural forage plays a critical role in the survival of this species. This study aims to analyze vegetation composition and structure, identify plant species that serve as natural forage, and evaluate their availability and distribution in the Padang Sugihan Wildlife Reserve, particularly along Jalur 3, Jalur 4, and Jalur 5. Data collection was conducted using line transects with nested plots at regeneration levels: seedlings (2×2 m), saplings (5×5 m), and poles and trees (10×10 m). Vegetation analysis included density, frequency, dominance, importance value index (IVI), species diversity index (H'), and evenness index (E). The results identified 54 plant species belonging to 35 families, of which 31 species were recognized as natural elephant forage. Four dominant forage species—Acacia mangium, Melaleuca leucadendron, Macaranga triloba, and Flacourtia rukam—were consistently found across all transects. Jalur 5 exhibited the highest species richness and diversity index at the seedling level (H' = 3.40), indicating strong regeneration potential. The evenness index across all sites was high (0.90–0.97), suggesting a relatively stable plant community. These findings indicate that the study area provides sufficient natural forage to support the sustainability of the sumatran elephant population.
