to take
action. The government set up a special team (3)
to watch
over the elephants. They gave the elephants food to guide them along the way. Many people worked together to help the elephants (4)
stay
away from towns and farms. The elephants finally came back to Xishuangbanna after walking over 1,300 km in about 17 months. The event makes people (5)
learn
about elephants and the meaning of protecting them.
Protecting elephants in the long run means more than just helping them along the way. To give them a safe home, China is planning (6)
to create
a national park for Asian elephants. This will provide more (7)
help
for these wonderful animals. China is also working with other countries to help elephants. For example, elephants often walk between China and Laos (8)
to find
food and water, so the two countries are teaming up to keep them safe.
Thanks to these efforts, Asian elephants now have a better chance at a safe and happy future.
