鈥楥anteens鈥 for elephants

Environmental workers in southwest China鈥檚 Yunnan Province have opened a number of 鈥渃anteens鈥 for wild Asian elephants to reduce conflicts between villagers and the endangered animal.

This year, staff from the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve have created a total of around 100 hectares of the elephant鈥檚 favorite food, such as bamboo and paper mulberry, in three different sites. On July 5, a canteen received 20 Asian elephants, who had a two-hour meal. In Pu鈥檈r City, 250 hectares of sugarcane, bananas and maize have been planted for the elephants.
