(230723) -- JIANGCHENG, July 23, 2023 (Xinhua) -- Diao Faxing, member of an elephant monitoring squad, launches a drone to track the movement of wild Asian elephants in Jiangcheng County, southwest China's Yunnan Province on July 20, 2023 Thanks to uncompromising environmental and wildlife protection efforts, the population of wild Asian elephants in Yunnan has been growing in recent years. Feeling much safer than before, some of these elephants have become increasingly "rampant," and a daring "group tour" of an elephant family in the province even made a great scene in the global cyberspace back in 2021. Jiangcheng County, which boasts a noticeable number of wild elephants, has inaugurated a special squad to monitor their movements. Once an elephant is found near a village, members of the squad would rush in, and deter it in a non-voilent manner. But if they fail to do so, cordon signs would be placed on site and warning messages would be sent to the villagers. While staying indoor to avoid confrontation wit

Asian elephants, a pivotal species in the rainforest ecosystem, are under first-class national protection in China. The elephants are mostly found across Yunnan. In 2011, 18 Asian elephants came to Jiangcheng Hani and Yi Autonomous County. Over the past ten years, more than 20 baby elephants have been born here. Local government has insured the farmers to protect their properties, and set up a team to observe the Asian elephants day and night to ensure the safety of villagers. (Photo by Diao Faxing/Xinhua)
