Viet Nam News ĐỒNG NAI — Wild elephant habitats in the southern province of Đồng Nai are being reduced and degraded, leading to a lack of food and more conflicts between animals and humans, according to local authorities.

Local foresters in Đồng Nai say the natural habitat for wild Asian elephants has shrunk from 50,000ha in the 1990s to 34,000ha in 2009. Tiếp tục đọc “Hungry wild elephants trash crops, property”
