The group was guided across the Yuanjiang river in Yunnan province, coaxed by drones and bananas, and is now about 100 miles from the nature reserve it left over a year ago.
that both baffled scientists and drew attention to the delicate balance China is trying to strike with conservation efforts.
A migrating herd of wild Asian elephants walks across a bridge over the Yuanjiang River in China's southwestern Yunnan province on Aug. 8, 2021. “A normal elephant in the wild will spend 17, 18 hours just eating,” Campos-Arceiz said. “That’s what they do.”That adds up to a lot of bananas and bamboo. So the herd has to keep moving in order to satisfy its appetites.
Therein lies the complexity of China’s conservation efforts — the elephants keep moving, but their habitat has shrunken substantially.“Whenever people and elephants share the same landscape, elephants are a big deal for people and people are a big deal for elephants,” Campos-Arceiz said.For the professor, the key is to not only think about habitat protection and restoration, but also find ways for elephants and people to coexist.
