NATIONAL PARK PROPOSED FOR WILD ELEPHANTS

By YANG WANLI in Beijing and LI YINGQING in Kunming | CHINA DAILY | Updated: 2021-06-24 00:00

Detailed plan drawn up to restore animals' habitats

In the past month, Ming Qingzhong, a university professor in Yunnan, has been closely monitoring 15 wild Asian elephants that have traveled 500 kilometers north from their habitat in the south of the province.

The animals have made headlines in China and overseas, with local authorities going to great lengths to monitor them and keep them away from residential areas.

Ming and his team from the Tourism and Culture Industry Research Institute at Yunnan University of Finance and Economics in Kunming, the provincial capital, have proposed building an Asian elephant national park, aiming to better manage and restore the giant creatures' habitats.
