Depending on the season, this area is may be grassland or it may be submerged under waist deep water. Sambar Seer, Wild Pigs, Binturong and the endangered White Winged Wood Duck have all been seen here. The trail often shows scats, pug marks and tree scratchings from Tigers.<\/p>\n<p>After a picnic lunch, take a slow walk back to the boat and you may see primates, different bird species, deer or elephants on the journey home.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ecolodgesindonesia.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/ERU-Web.jpg\" alt=\"ERU Web\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"336\" width=\"345\" title=\"ERU Web\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<h3><strong>Elephant Response Unit (ERU)<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The Elephant Response Unit is a unique and innovative project that has successfully saved hundreds of wild elephants from harm.

With fewer elephants destroying villages, fewer villagers now harm or kill the elephants in an effort to protect their homes and agriculture.<\/p>\n<p>The ERU has staff monitoring nightly for marauding elephants. You can visit unit headquarters during your stay here and even attend any callouts that may happen while you are present.

Here you will enjoy a picnic lunch and meet some unique park rangers who have dedicated their lives to conservation.<\/p>\n<p>You can also plant a tree for a minimal fee and contribute to the reforestation and new forest around you.
