Wild pigs, brought in by humans, have become feral and are breeding, leading to problems with egg predation by these wild boars. The predation rate averaged about 60% along the entire coast, reaching as high as 80% in some areas. As a countermeasure, electric fences designed to keep wild boars away from farmland were installed. In March 2001, electric fences were set up along a 1,600-meter stretch of the coast where the predation rate was highest, and in July, an assessment showed that the predation rate decreased from an average of 83% along the entire coast to 24%, and from 83% to 8.8% in the areas where the fences were installed. Additionally, in July 2002, the electric fence was extended by another 800 meters, and a survey in September revealed that the predation rate had successfully reduced to 11% on average along the entire coast and to 7% in the areas with the fences. Although there had been damage from a tsunami, the system is still functioning well and is contributing to an increase in the number of hatchling turtles returning to the sea.

Company information
This organization was established in August 1999 with the aim of conserving marine life in the Asian region and the surrounding marine environment. Initially, it functioned solely as the domestic liaison for Yayasan Penyu Laut Indonesia - Pusat Penelitian Penyu Indonesia (Indonesian Sea Turtle Research Center), a local NGO in Indonesia. However, in July 2002, it received certification as a non-profit organization (NPO) and, with its incorporation, began substantial activities in the field. The organization is referred to by the abbreviated name ELNA, which stands for Everlasting Nature of Asia.
