An elephant herd that fascinated locals and people around the world by making a yearlong journey into urbanized southwest China, raiding farms and even a retirement home for food, appears finally to be headed home.
Local authorities have deployed trucks, workers and drones to monitor the elephants, evacuated roads for them to pass safely and used food to steer them away from populated areas. Despite their entrance into villages and a close approach to the Yunnan provincial capital of Kunming, no animals or humans have been injured.
The elephants left the reserve more than a year ago for unknown reasons and roamed more than 500 kilometers north. After reaching the outskirts of Kunming, a center for business and tourism, they turned south again, but still are far from the reserve.One male that separated from the herd was subsequently tranquilized and returned to the reserve.
As of Sunday night, the herd was still in Yuanjiang County, approximately 200 kilometers from the reserve.
