YUNNAN (China): The Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve in southwest China has been known for the vibrant biodiversity in its 240,000 hectares of tropical jungles.

While the jungles provide rich sources of food and water, they also pose life threats to their inhabitants. The local Asian elephants, for instance, might fail to survive in the wilderness in cases of severe injury or illness if no one came to their rescue in time.
