In October 2015, the EU Delegation to Indonesia ‘adopted’ Eropa – a newborn Sumatran elephant from the Tangkahan Conservation Response Unit in the Leuser Ecosystem – to strengthen conservation efforts. The naming and adoption of the baby elephant Eropa highlights the EU’s long-term commitment to the unique Leuser Ecosystem and contribution of over €50 million to protect and sustainably manage Aceh and North Sumatra’s forests.
