A staff member from the centre said that while he was sleeping, he heard a big noise. Then the wild elephant herd damaged the centre’s fence and rushed in to take the food that was left for some domestic elephants being kept here.
Phuoc added that the elephant herd came from a forest in Krong Na Commune.
The centre has cooperated with Krong Na Communal authorities to adopt measures to ensure the safety of local residents.
