China on the way to revive majesty of Asian elephants
RESCUE ON THE WAY
According to Bao, wild elephants usually leave sick herd members near villages on purpose, counting on humans to save them. Most elephants in need of help are reported by local villagers.
"Some elephants were injured from accidents, like falling down a mountain, or involved in a fight, some were abandoned by their herd due to congenital diseases such as heart problems," he said.
"Judging from their injuries and the situations on the ground, we deploy different rescue teams, sometimes even with a crane and a helicopter," Bao said.
"For every elephant at the center, we arrange two keepers to accompany them around the clock. They lead the elephants to the mountains every day to let them re-adapt to the wild," Bao added.
"Sometimes we invite foreign experts to our center to discuss medical solutions for the rescued elephants," Bao said.
