author:China Green Development Association

A few days ago, the Green Society Media received a letter from volunteers reflecting: Because the reservoir is isolated from the elephant road, the female elephant herd of Menghai cannot return, and life has its own way out, provided that it cannot break its way, the elephants of Menghai really have no way to go, and the elephant herd has no male elephants, so it cannot breed. Volunteers say the situation is worrying. The Political Research Office of the Green Committee also expressed deep concern about the above-mentioned reflections, and sincerely requested the relevant departments in Yunnan to investigate and verify and give a positive response.

According to volunteers, the elephant herd in Menghai-Lancang was isolated by the hydropower station, and now there are only female elephants and juvenile elephants in the elephant herd, and the adult male elephants are locked up in the fence of the control area, which is the six male elephants filmed in the documentary "Land of the Gods", in addition to the "king" and his son, the other two are "short tail" and "big cute".

Volunteers also provided information on sources of information about the situation of the Mon Walrus herd:

The Menghai elephant herd is isolated in the Menghai area due to the reservoir, the male elephant is kept in the control area, and the female elephant herd without the male elephant cannot continue to breed, and the following supporting materials are available:
