This collection is called ‘Nine Elephants Wine Set’ .

Nine elephants gather in the pot. There are hidden meanings in this exquisite set; nine represents eternity, while elephants represent auspiciousness and are representative of Yunnan Province’s ethnic groups. The set characteristically presents the local culture and symbolises auspiciousness, harmony and fairness. The design is smart too; the wine is loaded from the bottom of the pot and does not spill when the pot is turned upright. Wine is then poured into the cup from the elephant’s trunk. ‘Nine Elephants Wine Set’ forms part of the collection at the National Museum of China.

Men vs Elephants: Villagers in SW China’s face life risks brought by wild Asian elephants

Few weeks ago, the body of a 48-year-old villager surnamed Luo was found at a sugarcane field 20 kilometers away from his home in Lancang Lahu Autonomous County in Pu’er City, southwest China’s Yunnan Province. Based on investigations at the scene, local authority confirmed that he was attacked and killed by a group of wild Asian elephants.

Luo’s tragedy was the eighth one in the past seven years. The death caused by attack from wild Asian elephants occurred in the area every year since 2014, according to a local official.

The well-protected forest vegetation in Lancang Lahu Autonomous County is an ideal habitat for this endangered species, a forestry official told Red Star News.

However, the construction of hydropower station on the Lancang River and other human activities squeezed the living space of these giant mammals. Diverse array of habitats force wild Asian elephants to enter farms and villages in search of food. They once spotted these elephants only 20 kilometers away from the town center of the county, according to local forestry authority.

“We initially believed that they are mascots to bring fortune and happiness. However, they rampaged through villages, and we must keep a safe distance. They are like a group of invaders,” said a villager.

The conflicts between villagers and elephants have intensified in recent years. A total of six surveillance cameras and drones were put into use at villages three years ago. However, the monitoring system was suspended last year as the Internet charge is unaffordable for this impoverished county.

Therefore, the human elephant trackers and sending timely alerts are still the main method to strengthen the protection of wild Asian elephants and protect people’s lives. The weak infrastructure and lack of monitoring equipment as well as funds are the difficulties, according to a forestry official, emphasizing that local government will endeavor to ease the situation.

Wild Asian elephants are under Class A protection in China, with a population of about 300 mainly scattered in Yunnan's Xishuangbanna, Pu'er and Lincang, according to Xinhua News Agency.

's Miyun Reservoir sees huge improvement of over past 60 years

Beijing's Miyun Reservoir had just celebrated its 60th anniversary recently. As an important source of drinking water for the Chinese capital, it has nourished generations of people in the past six decades.

Thanks to the strict and science-based management of the reservoir, it is seeing increasingly improved water quality.

The areas with an elevation of less than 155 meters around the reservoir are listed as first-class protection zones, said Yang Rongliang, head of the waterborne unit of the comprehensive law enforcement team of the reservoir. According to him, these zones are enclosed by 2.5-meter-high fences that total 305 kilometers, and all irrelevant personnel are not allowed to enter them.

A total of 394 cameras are installed around the fences for 24-hour monitoring, which can sound alarms when spotting trespassing, persuade trespassers to leave and obtain evidences of trespassing. Besides, facial recognition and vehicle plate recognition are also adopted at each entrance of the protection zones to improve the efficiency of law enforcement.

In addition, all gas-fueled law enforcement vessels in the reservoir have been replaced by clean-energy ones. The comprehensive law enforcement team of the reservoir is also equipped with drones to crack down on illegal activities. So far, the team has busted three illegal electrofishing cases, and all six people involved were put into sentence.

The first-class protection zones of the reservoir, which cover 273 square kilometers, are divided into 160 water retention grids protected by 2,150 full-time personnel.

The reservoir also launched a water purifying campaign in upstream counties and districts, establishing a solid line of defense of ecological restoration, treatment and protection. It adopted 21 measures to treat water and soil loss in 600 square kilometers of land.

According to the water environment monitoring center of Miyun Reservoir's management office, the frequency of monitoring has been increased to once a week, and the water quality in the reservoir is always maintained above the level II standard for ground water, which is higher than the standard for drinking water.

To better protect the environment, Miyun Reservoir introduced a comprehensive ban on husbandry, removing 692 livestock farms in the first-class protection zones, as well as 72 aquaculture enterprises along upstream rivers.

Rich in resources of iron mine, Miyun district, where the reservoir is located, is home to 98 percent of iron ores in Beijing. However, the reservoir resolutely closed 5 mining companies for water retention, even though they could create huge economic profits and job opportunities.

As of the end of last year, the forest coverage rate in Miyun district reached 65.55 percent, and the green coverage rate also hit 75.3 percent. The parkland per capita in urban areas was raised to 14.86 square meters, and the coverage of parks and green spaces within a 500-meter radius of residential areas was expanded to 81.96 percent in the district.

Liu Xiansheng is a villager in Xikouwai village, Fengjiayu township of Miyun district. A total of 85.6 percent of land is covered by forests in the township, but the strict water retention measures are keeping villagers away from using local water and forest resources.

To solve the development problem of the villagers, the district government sent Liu 50 swarms of bees and a whole set of apiculture facilities in 2017. It also dispatched technicians to guide the man keep the bees.

Now, Liu owns 150 beehives and makes over 60,000 yuan ($8,770) per year. "I'm planning to add another 50 beehives," he told the People's Daily.

Apiculture is currently a major industry for Miyun. At present, the district is home to 2,072 beekeepers and 115,000 swarms.

Thanks to the sound ecological environment, Miyun district has embraced prosperous development of eco-agriculture, folk tourism and characteristic economy. Its tourist revenue has ranked first among all ecological conservation areas in Beijing for 9 years in a row.
