克里·麦克雷在泰国北部的夜占管理着一家名为志趣相投的大象保护区,她说附近的村民已经把大约七头大象带回了她的保护区,因为他们失去了旅游业收入。
"Feeding elephants is a priority but the issue is that there's not enough forest left to feed them," she explains.
“喂大象是首要任务,但问题是森林不够用,”她解释说。
Ms McCrae, who originally comes from Northern Ireland and is also a co-founder of the sanctuary, has to drive up to three hours a day to find enough grasses and corn stalks to feed the five elephants in her care.
麦克雷女士来自北爱尔兰,也是保护区的联合创始人,她每天要开车3个小时去寻找足够的草和玉米秸秆来喂养她照顾的5头大象。
She says local elephant caretakers are forced to do the same.
她说,当地的大象看护员也不得不这样做。
The country, which normally relies on tourism for a large portion of its economic growth, has been forced to close its borders to all tourists and much of the country is in lockdown.
泰国已被迫对所有游客关闭边境,国内大部分地区也已封锁。泰国的经济增长通常很大程度上依赖于旅游业。
Happy elephants, Kerri McCrae says, are usually swinging their tails or flapping their ears or even giving themselves dust baths to keep cool. But elephants get depressed when they're hungry, and none of that happy behaviour would be on display.
