WATCH: Wild elephants in China are running out of room to roam as farming and construction threaten to encroach on much of their natural habitats

Xishuangbanna's elephants have more than doubled to about 300 in the past 20 years, a sign of success in rehabilitating herds, and the migrating group was likely seeking more space, especially as the amount of land suitable for them has dwindled by 40% over those two decades.

A biodiversity hot spot, Xishuangbanna has drawn up "red lines" to separate humans from vulnerable ecosystems. But the expansion of monoculture farming, where fields are dedicated to single crops like tea and rubber, as well as the construction of giant transportation projects in the region, have disrupted the elephants' grazing and roaming routes.

Qin from Wild Elephant Valley said it was "hard to say" what impact the hydropower plant has had on migration routes, but said it must have been a consideration when the plant was built.
