Deep in the Myanmar Forest, Won Lin spots his elephant, Toe Lai, and calls, “La, la, la.” Toe Lai fans out his ears, takes a last bite of grass, then lumbers toward Won Lin. It’s time to go to work.
A century ago there were more than a hundred thousand elephants in Asia; today there are just thirty-five thousand. Only Myanmar–where nearly one-third of Asia’s remaining elephants live– can boast a healthy elephant population. Thousands of elephants roam in the wild there, and thousands more work with humans to harvest valuable wood. As Won Lin and Toe Lai’s story reveals, this working partnership between elephants and humans may be the key to preserving the elephants themselves as well as their forest home.
