Drone monitoring wild Asian elephants in south Yunnan

Wild Asian elephants are often seen in the southern part of Yunnan Province. According to experts, Asian elephants are the largest mammal on land in Asia.

CGTN's reporter Cen Ziyuan shadows local monitoring staff for a day in south Yunnan's Jiangcheng County. Their job is to locate where the land giants are and alert nearby villagers to hide and evacuate.

The safe distance between humans and elephants is about 100-150 meters. She ran into a group of elephants, and let's see how she handles it.
