Kota Kinabalu: There is a lesson to learn from China’s experience in protecting its elephant population which has increased from some 190 to 300 in its Yunnan Province that Sabah journalists visited on a past excursion arranged by the People’s Republic of China Consulate General in Kota Kinabalu.
As reported by the global media recently, villagers cooperated with the authorities tracking a herd of 16 elephants migrating 500 km from Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve to the Jinning district of Kunming even though the elephants have caused more than a million yuan in damages to crops and property as there is a compensation mechanism to cover their losses to the foraging elephants.
