Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture

The Elephant Odyssey follows China's efforts to protect Asian elephants, from monitoring their movements to rescuing those in need and returning them to the wild.

The film captures the journey of a herd that left a nature reserve in Xishuangbanna in 2020 and traveled about 500 kilometers north to Kunming, arriving in June 2021.

The elephants later turned south and eventually safely returned home.

So, and also it's in a tropical region where the biodiversity is so abundant that from up north you can never imagine what you run into in the next moment.

It can be just a weird looking bug you've never seen.
