如今中国在保护野生动物领域正投入更多的精力和资源。野生亚洲象数量正逐年增加。

Long Long, a baby Asian elephant, caught much attention on the Internet weeks ago with a video showing him sliding(滑动) down a slope. Months ago, another video showing him playing water with his keeper, also caught much attention. But his mood(心情) was nothing like this when he was saved by the Asian Elephant Breeding and Rescue Center in July last year. At that time, the elephant was in a serious physical condition. After months, Long Long gradually became well again and got increasingly lively.

一只小亚洲象Long Long几周前在互联网上引起了很多关注，视频显示他从斜坡上滑下。几个月前，另一个视频显示他和他的守门员一起玩水，也引起了很多关注。但是当他在去年7月被亚洲象繁殖和救援中心拯救时，他的心情一点也不像这样。那时，大象的身体状况很严重。几个月后，Long Long逐渐恢复健康，变得越来越活泼。

The rescue center is in southwest China’s Xishuangbanna. It is home to the largest number of Asian elephants in the country. This is only one of the many success stories at the center. Since its creation in 2008, it has saved more than 20 elephants in need of help, who were mostly wounded and separated from their family. Today, more than 10 caretakers work in the center. Their daily activity includes bathing and feeding the elephants, and taking them to the wild for field survival(生存) training. Xiong Chaoyong is one of the caretakers. He says he will work to train more new caretakers. He hopes more people will join the undertaking of Asian elephant protection.

救援中心位于中国西南部的西双版纳。它是这个国家数量最多的亚洲象的家园。这只是中心众多成功故事之一。自2008年创建以来，它已经拯救了20多头需要帮助的大象，这些大象大多受伤并与家人分离。如今，10多名看护人在该中心工作。他们的日常活动包括给大象洗澡和喂食，以及带它们去野外进行野外生存训练。熊超勇是看护者之一。他说他将努力培训更多的新看护人。他希望更多的人加入亚洲象保护事业。

In China, Asian elephants are put under the top-level protection, and any action that harms them is regarded as illegal. Over the past ten years, the population of elephants in China has increased by about 100. Now more than 300 elephants live in the cities of Xishuangbanna, Pu’er and Lincang of Yunnan Province.

在中国，亚洲象受到最高保护，任何伤害它们的行为都被视为非法。在过去的十年里，中国的大象数量增加了大约100。现在300多头大象生活在云南省西双版纳、普洱和临沧市。
