Good news! The Asian elephants are finally back home!
In 2021, 17 elephants left home and headed north. They travelled about 500 kilometres and visited many places in Yunnan, China. They walked through forests, rivers, mountains, and even streets in the cities. They ate in the fields and slept in the wild. During their journey, Chinese police officers protected them all along the way.
Asian elephants are endangered. Zhang Li, a professor from Beijing Normal University, said, “Human engineering developments made the lives of elephants difficult.” However, China works hard to protect elephants. It provides first-class protection to elephants as well as giant pandas.
China’s Yunnan Province is home to Asian elephants.
