Elephants’ dining area
SOUTHWEST China’s Yunnan Province will build a “dining area” for wild Asian elephants to solve conflicts between the endangered animal and local residents.
The dining area will be located in a 137.5-hectare habitat area for 18 wild Asian elephants in Menghai County of Dai Autonomous Prefecture of Xishuangbanna, which also overlaps the 35,000 people from 13 villages who live there.
An elephant habitat reconstruction project will also be launched, while the 51-hectare dining area will grow corn, sugarcane, bamboo and bananas.
“Protecting the lives and property of local residents is key to Asian elephant conservation, which is also the most difficult part,” said an official with the forestry bureau.
