In the nearly 5-acre sugarcane field, the sugarcane was eaten or trampled upside down and in disarray. This is a sugar cane field destroyed by Asian elephants.
Zi Yanping, a member of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference and deputy director of the Jinuo Mountain Jinuo Township Health Center in Jinghong City, Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province, drove for nearly two hours and ran to a village in Menghai, a neighboring county, to see the damaged sugar cane field. .
Xishuangbanna is the primary habitat of the Asian elephant, which is a nationally protected wildlife. The establishment of the Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve has effectively protected the Asian elephant rainforests and their habitats. The number of Asian elephants has gradually increased, but subsequent incidents of “human-elephant conflict” have also occurred frequently.
How much will farmers lose after such an elephant shoot? After an investigation, Zi Yanping learned that the income of one acre of sugarcane field was about 2,000 yuan, and the conservative estimate was that the loss was more than 10,000 yuan. “This has not yet added the cost to farmers,” said Zi Yanping, “the production and lives of farmers are seriously affected.”
Who will pay for the elephant?
Living in the local area for many years, Zi Yanping knew that Xishuangbanna had special compensation for wildlife accidents. He learned that the compensation rates for rice in 2019 are 600 yuan per mu, 400 yuan for corn and 800 yuan for sugar cane. “The income from sugar cane is 2,000 yuan per mu, and the income from corn is 800 yuan per mu, and the current standard can only compensate for about half of people’s loss, and the degree of profit is low”. After visiting the affected people in three villages, Zi Yanping concluded In conclusion.
Zi Yanping solved a total of 6,133 wild animal accident cases that occurred in Xishuangbanna since 2011, including 322 victims, 66,963 farmers were injured, and Asian elephants were the main animals.
“There is an imperative to protect Asian elephants and reduce the loss of life and property caused by Asian elephants to the masses. Improving compensation standards is imminent.” Zi Yanping decided to write this topic in a proposal and bring it to this year’s conference.
The preparation of the proposal began in June 2019 and continued until April of this year. To make the proposal more robust, Zi Yanping consulted experts from the forestry department to consult, verified the latest data with the local government, and finally submitted a mature proposal, suggesting to appropriately increase the presence of wild animals such as Asian elephants, damage to crops and casualties. Compensation rules.
“Only at the grassroots level can we accurately understand the real difficulties of the masses and reflect the concerns of the masses,” said Zi Yanping.

Run to the ground
Zi Yanping has served as the representative of the 12th National People’s Congress since 2013, and has been a member of the CPPCC National Committee since 2018.

Medical care, culture, education … It seems to be “cross-border”. In fact, every Zi Yanping proposal came out on the ground.

Their many years of experience in carrying out their tasks have convinced her that the deeper they are at the base level, the better they will be able to understand the demands of the masses.
