Years' effort of afforestation and forest protection and of closing hillsides to livestock grazing and hunting has turned the Dai Autonomous Prefecture's tropical rain forests into a habitat of a growing number of wildlife species in Xishuangbanna, Yunnan Province.
There are by now big caravans of elephants, with their number increased from about 250 five years ago to present 300, being seen deep in forests of the place back from tropical forests of Burma and Laos. Picture shows a wild male elephant scooping up tender grass into its mouth in the jungle.
