Discussion on the northbound phenomenon of elephants

The conservation area, according to specialists at the conservation area, is one of the reasons why elephants are migrating north:

 

i. “Now there are many kinds of rubber trees on these lands, which are an important source of income for the people. If the rubber forest is not well-managed, the grass will grow in the trees that the Asian elephants like to eat, but if the rubber forest is well managed, the grass will disappear, and they will gradually move away from here, and they will go to someplace that is not rubber forest, and they will gradually move out. Fine-grained management of profit-driven rubber plantations will force elephants to leave the plantations and go where the food is.”

 Zhou Dao: Legislation and rules should be made, including encouraging village rules and conventions, providing scientific and popular science guidance, and appropriately guiding the production and life of the people in the protected areas. Biodiversity Conservation in Our Neighborhood (BCON) is particularly worthy of promotion. Local departments and conservation areas have a significant role to play.

 

ii. “Elephants prefer grass rather than wild fruit. There is less grass where the forest is better; where the forest is dense, the undergrowth is empty; on the contrary, where the forest is sparse, there are more herbs and shrubs under the undergrowth. Over the years, the conservation area has been under enhanced management. As trees grow larger and forests become denser, there are gradually fewer undergrowth plants that can be eaten.”

 Zhou Dao: Well-protected conservation area with less food is not a natural habitat for elephants. This is not beneficial for habitat diversity. The same problem exists in the wetlands around the Bohai gulf area. The birds are going elsewhere to find food because there is no food in the conservation area.
