Zhang Jia, a police officer from the local border police station, reminded residents not to stop or take close-up photos when passing through rivers, waterways, and other areas where wild elephants are commonly seen.

In recent years, local authorities have ramped up their ecological conservation efforts, leading to continuous improvements in the habitat of wild Asian elephants and more stable herd activities. This has made the harmonious coexistence of humans and elephants a common sight in the local rainforest landscape.
