　　A new base(基地) opened to Asian elephants in Yunnan Province recently.The construction(施工）started at the end of 2020 and 1 (complete) in May 2021.

　　With increasing forest coverage in the region,the grasslands that the elephants prefer have 2  (gradual) become less, making it much 3 (hard) for the elephants to find enough grass than before.This partly explains 4 the wild Asian elephants have often left their protected areas and entered the nearby villages in recent years. This has a great influence 5 the villagers' life as these elephants may eat their crops.

　　To solve the problem,the base is set to offer the Asian elephants more 6 (kind) of food and improve their living environment.“The area has been planted mainly with 7 (they)main food—wild bananas. It is expected to help avoid the damage(損失)caused by the elephants”said Zha Wei, an official at the local forestry and grassland bureau(林草局).“By 8 (build) the food base,more elephants will stay inside the area. So they won't go into the nearby villages and cause conflicts(沖突)between humans and elephants. As long as there are enough food,the elephants will stay in their 9 (nature) home.”

　　The construction of this new base is also a good way to protect Asian elephants that are under first-class state protection in China. There are 185 wild Asian elephants now there, 10 increase of 105from the end of the last century. And this population continues to grow.
