1 【Conference Background】

The 15 elephants that moved northward in Yunnan recently have attracted attention from all over the world. Factors such as poaching, the disappearance of elephant habitats, and human-elephant conflict have threatened the survival of elephants. This also reminds us of the importance of protecting elephants. Resist illegal hunting and the ivory trade, and protect elephant habitats. It is more important to see the ecological value of elephants, to quantify the increase in carbon sinks of elephants in the forest, and so on.
