[3] Significant encroachment has occurred along the southern boundary of the park by villagers claiming traditional land rights.

[13] Wells left behind by relocated communities in 1984 have proven to be deadly traps for the animals, including baby elephants, rhinos and tigers.

[12] In early 2011 the Ministry of Forestry announced the allocation of funds to establish a rare flora and fauna rehabilitation centre in the park.

[13] A managed breeding centre named Sumatran Rhino Sanctuary (SRS) of 250 acres (100 ha) was built up in 2023.

[16] The founding population was five Sumatran rhinos, most have been moved from zoos to the large enclosures with natural habitat at the SRS.

These are trained anti-poaching teams of 4-6 people that patrol a minimum of 15 days per month the key areas of the park to deactivate traps and identify illegal intruders.

[18] A significant source of conflict between the park and surrounding communities is posed by crop raiding wild elephants.

In a study conducted in the 1990s, it was recorded that wild elephants damaged over 45 hectares of corn, rice, cassava, beans and other crops, and around 900 coconut, banana and other trees in 18 villages around the park.

Villagers attempt to reduce elephant damage by guarding fields, digging trenches between, and modifying their cropping patterns.

[25] Chusnunia Chalim, regent of East Lampung, has hoped to promote awareness of the whole park through the Centre.
