History

In the winter of 2009/2010, the regency suffered from flooding, which saw some 80 percent of the forest in Tanggamus severely damaged. Landslides occurred in the district of Semaka and the flooding drowned several elephants including one within the protected Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park and another at the Way Kerap dam in Tanggamus.{{cite web|url=http://www.thejakartapost.com/news/2010/03/04/elephant-dies-swept-away-tanggamus-floods.html|title=Elephant dies, swept away by Tanggamus floods |publisher=Jakarta Post|date=4 March 2010|accessdate=22 February 2011}}

Bukit Barisan Selatan National Park is a National Park in the area. A Tropical Forest World Heritage Site, Bukit Barisan has a total area of 3,568 km2.{{cite web | url=https://www.gunungraja.com/2018/11/44-rekomendasi-tempat-wisata-lampung-barat-liwa-yang-menawan-dan-sulit-untuk-dilupakan.html | title=44 Rekomendasi Tempat Wisata Lampung Barat Liwa Yang Menawan Dan Sulit Untuk Dilupakan | date=29 November 2018 }}
