Abstract

The author spent a year to research the current situation of the conflict between elephant and human. Asian elephants are well protected in China, while the suitable area for Asian elephants to survive has not increased a lot. Therefore, Asian elephants have moved out of forest and started entering villages. This brings much inconvenience to local people. The local government also made several moves to help deal with the situation. This passage shows the villagers’ attitude towards Asian elephants, and discusses about the possibility of the coexistence between humans and elephants. Local people are considering turning elephants as tourist resources.
