(2025·内蒙古兴安盟期末) People in the countryside are used to having unexpected (出乎意料的) visitors—wild animals like frogs and snakes. But what if the visitor is an elephant?
Pu Cuifen, a villager from Yunnan Province, experienced that two years ago. “I’ve only seen elephants in a zoo before, not expecting a wild elephant would appear at my doorstep,” she said. The elephants didn’t hurt anyone, but only ate some farm plants. The villagers lost up to 50,000 yuan. To protect their crops, villagers would drive away the elephants. But this made the animals angry and sometimes people got hurt or even died because of it. The government has paid the money for the plants the elephants have eaten and also has created “dining halls” for the wild elephants to grow their favourite food, such as elephant grass and plants.
Now, villagers simply leave the elephants alone. “The elephants might eat our crops, but we treat them with care and accept them with love,” said Pu.
In Xizang, Migmar was once a hunter but now is a helper at the wildlife station of Qomolangma. He and his friends take turns to go around to check there’s no trouble or danger for wild animals every day. The wildlife station was set up in 2019. Since then, they have saved 17 wild animals. During this period, they learned to bandage the animals and clean their wounds, and set them free into the wild when they got well again. “Animals don’t talk, but I can feel their trust (信任),” said Migmar.
