Chapter 875: Severely Damaged

In fact, after Jack Ma returned from watching elephants in Africa, he was thinking about protecting Asian elephants in China.

Once I got to know it, I realized that the human-elephant conflict in Yunnan is so serious.

Suddenly I had the idea to solve the problem, and I immediately put forward my conjecture within the Alibaba Charity Foundation, and was affirmed by many colleagues.

Without saying a word, we flew directly to Yunnan.

It happened that Liu Wei had a hot pot appointment with him before, and Liu Wei was an expert in this field, so he gave Liu Wei a position.

Ma Yun is a seasoned businessman, so he naturally knew that Liu Wei came to the appointment with some interests, but since both of them were doing things to protect animals, Ma Yun didn't take it seriously.

He eagerly hoped that with Liu Wei's participation, a practical plan could be discussed.

Asian elephants need to be protected!

The interests of local residents must not be harmed.

Liu Wei was thinking about this matter while eating hot pot.

After resting for one night in Jinghong City, the next morning, an official vehicle from the city government came to pick up Ma Yun and Liu Wei at the door of the hotel.

Under the leadership of the state leaders, we went to the Mengyang Asian Elephant Reserve.

When he arrived at the village outside the reserve, Ma Yun frowned and looked out the car window. Several wooden tile houses in the village had become dangerous buildings and were in danger of collapse at any time.

The villagers built a temporary plastic shed next to the house and repaired the house while living.

Ma Yun guessed that it was caused by the elephant rushing into the village!

The monitor of Mengyang Reserve walked to the car door to greet the leaders.

After Ma Yun got out of the car, he held Liu Wei's waist and walked directly to the houses of the affected villagers.

An elderly woman was washing vegetables in front of the door, looking at the huge crowd of people approaching with some confusion.

Watch them.

The inspector went up and introduced: "Auntie, the city leaders are here to visit you. They are here to help drive away the elephants!"

The woman stared at Ma Yun without saying a word.

At this time, a shirtless middle-aged man with a strong body walked out of the wooden tile house, holding a common tool for carpenters in his hand. He took the initiative to come up and said with a smile, "Hello, leader! My mother's ears are not good. Come and sit!”

He put down his tools and went to get a stool from the plastic shed.

Ma Yun looked at the leaning wooden house and asked with concern, "Fellow, can this house still be inhabited?"

"The main structure of the house has not been affected. It can still be lived in with some repairs. The side house and the cattle pen will have to be demolished!"

Ma Yun then asked: "Can you do it alone?"

The man said calmly: "Practice slowly! I don't know when the elephant will come again!"

Ma Yun heard some helplessness.

Secretary Chen walked up to him and asked, "Have the subsidies from the government been in place?"

The inspector introduced: "This is our Secretary Chen!"

Upon hearing this, the man shook hands with Secretary Chen and said, "Thank you to the leaders for their concern. The money for house repairs has been received, but the crop subsidies have not yet arrived!"

"You may need to go through some procedures. Don't worry, fellow, it will be delivered to you. Otherwise, how will you live your life if there are no crops this year?" Secretary Chen asked with concern.

"Yeah! I believe in the government and the party!"

Jack Ma sighed, "The fields have been ruined and the farmers' sweat has been in vain. Just issuing subsidies cannot solve the fundamental problem!"

The mayor standing next to Secretary Chen said: "That's right! Teacher Ma, just this year in our town, nearly 120 acres of crops have been destroyed by elephants, and more than 20 houses have been damaged. The most serious ones have not been destroyed at all." If the law lives on people, it can only be rebuilt.

However, the funding for reconstruction is too high, and the subsidies provided by the government are not enough. People have to pay for it themselves. Our area is a nature reserve and a planned tourist area, so the houses are all made of wooden structures, which will not be guaranteed next time. The elephant group rushed into the village again.

In the first half of the year, the subsidies issued by our town just to solve the problem of human-elephant conflict have exceeded 2 million!

That’s a lot of financial pressure for a town!

Regarding money, we can squeeze it out, but the people who suffer the most are the ordinary people!

If a house falls down, it can still be built, if the food is gone, it can be planted again next year, and there will always be a few days of peace and quiet, but if an elephant rushes into the village and hurts people, it will be a tragedy! "

Ma Yun nodded, agreeing with the mayor's point of view, and put his body on the fellow's shoulders, "fellow, we will find a way to help you!"

"Thank you, leader! Thank you!" The fellow quickly shook hands and thanked him.

Suddenly, sirens sounded in the village.

Ma Yun's body was shaken.

The fellow said: "Leader, you should go to the town to hide for a while!"

"What's going on?" Ma Yun asked doubtfully.

The monitor explained: "The elephants are here again, and the monitoring station sounded the alarm!"

Ma Yun waved his hand forward and expressed that he wanted to take a look at the scene. The monitor persuaded, "Teacher Ma, Secretary Chen, it's too dangerous. Why don't you go to the monitoring station to hide for a while?"

Secretary Chen said solemnly: "On-site inspections are to discover problems. They are hidden. How do you discover problems? How do you solve them?"

The monitor knew that he could not be persuaded, so he stopped talking.

Ma Yun intentionally turned his head and glanced at Liu Wei, who understood and said, "Don't worry, I can guarantee your safety!"

Ma Yun smiled and patted Liu Wei on the back.

The monitor led the way and based on the positioning issued by the monitoring station, the group arrived at the location where the elephant herd was.

The monitor stepped forward to stop us and said: "Dear leaders, we really can't go any further. This is a group of short-nosed elephants with a huge number. If they have revenge, the consequences will be disastrous!"

Liu Wei nodded and said: "Teacher Ma, Secretary Chen, we can't go any further. This observation distance is already a bit offensive to the elephants!"

The elephant herd was active on the hill less than 100 meters away in front of everyone.

They noticed the sudden appearance of the crowd and let out several harsh roars.

The crops in the fields were eaten by them, and their huge bodies destroyed the food that was about to be harvested.

The monitor said: "They like to spoil food very much. In fact, they only eat one-third of it, and the remaining two-thirds are spoiled and wasted!"

Ma Yun frowned and stared at these unscrupulous elephants.

I deeply understand the helpless feeling of local residents.

Asian elephants are national first-level protected animals. There are only more than 300 elephants in China, and more than 280 of them live in Xishuangbanna, which is the densest gathering place for the Dai people in China.

Contradictions and conflicts between humans and elephants are inevitable.

"What do you do when you encounter situations like this?" Ma Yun asked the monitor.

"In the past, they used sound to drive away the elephants, but now these short-nosed elephants have become accustomed to it, and sometimes it doesn't work at all. Villagers used to use sticks to scare them, but once the elephants get angry, tragedy will happen.

Last year we introduced some high-tech equipment, which are still being debugged and have not been tested yet! "The monitor said, "The elephant herds move over a wide area, their haunts are uncertain, and the staff at the monitoring station are limited. We need more advanced technology to observe the activities of the elephant herds! "

Ma Yun turned around and said to Sun Lijun: "We have the technology, you ask the company to come up with a plan, I will have it tomorrow!"

Sun Lijun immediately took out his phone and responded, "Okay, Mr. Ma, I'll make arrangements now!"
