China Laos cooperation projects are always the destination of "elephant"

2022-12-06

Over the years, China Laos cooperation projects have always paid attention to the protection of the ecological environment of the project location and the local sustainable and green development. The homes of cross-border rare animals such as Asian elephants have never been disturbed by China Laos cooperation projects. "In the process of promoting the China Laos cooperation project, the habitat of Asian elephants has been properly protected. There has never been an incident in which Asian elephants were injured due to project construction and operation, nor has there ever been an incident in which Lao people reported that elephants were disturbed by the project." Zhao Wenyu, a business counselor of the Chinese Embassy in Laos, recently told Xinhua News Agency. The China Laos Railway, which will be opened in December 2021, will pass through the habitat of Asian elephants. Not long ago, the short film "Little Elephant" shot by China Railway International Group Co., Ltd. won the social public welfare award of the fourth "the Belt and Road" 100 country imprint short video contest. From the perspective of a small elephant, the work tells the story of the China Laos Railway adjusting its route, digging tunnels and building bridges to protect a big tree in the home of Asian elephants. In the film, Xiao Xiang states in Lao that the railway under construction just passes a tree where he lives. The little elephant is afraid that the big tree will be cut down, But "I saw several people looking under the tree for a long time before leaving. Then I saw people adjusting their positions back and forth (bypassing the tree), constantly digging tunnels, and building many bridges... I understand that our home is protected by people, and we don't need to move away anymore. Dashu and I can live here for many years." "In the process of construction, a large number of construction operations are carried out either underground or on the bridge. We use goodwill and determination to protect the home of Asian elephants and minimize the disturbance to the local ecology." Huang Hong, the former commander of China Railway China Laos Railway Project Construction Headquarters, said that China Laos railway construction uses actions to explain that the "the Belt and Road" is not only a road to economic prosperity, but also a road to sustainable green development. Huang Hong said that from 2020 to 2021, a group of wild Asian elephants will travel leisurely northward from Xishuangbanna, Yunnan, near the border with China and Laos, attracting global attention. It is gratifying that "there is also the result of our work - Asian elephants can live and migrate freely, which is inseparable from the ecological construction and green construction of the China Laos railway". Liu Hong, the general manager of Laos China Railway Co., Ltd., who is responsible for the operation of Laos section of the China Laos Railway, said that the China Laos Railway had listed the protection of the home of Asian elephants as a major ecological issue at the early design stage of the project. With the cooperation of local government and forestry department, the design and construction unit investigated the distribution and migration channels of Asian elephants, comprehensively analyzed the living habits of Asian elephants, and finally chose tunnels and bridges to replace the subgrade as much as possible to reserve channels for elephants. The project unit has also specially built tens of kilometers of wild elephant protective fence in the Asian elephant activity area, developed a flexible protective fence according to the elephant habits, and set the top barber cage on the inside, which can effectively isolate the Asian elephant without causing physical harm, and minimize the impact on the Asian elephant and its habitat. It has long been the consensus of participants in China Laos cooperation projects that not only railway constructors are committed to the protection of Asian elephants, but also that the construction and operation of the railway will not lose sight of the green waters and green mountains.
