Study on the Harmonious Coexistence Path Between Human and Asian Elephant from the Perspective of Life Community
In recent years,the relationship between humans and Asian elephants(El-ephas maximus)has aroused great concern in the whole society,and the harmonious co-existence between humans and Asian elephants is also related to the realization of ecological protection goals.Firstly,based on the theory of community of life,this paper constructs the theoretical analysis framework of the community between human and Asian elephant,namely:community of destiny,community of interests,and community of action.Secondly,based upon previous research findings and field work from this study,the current situation of symbiosis between humans and Asian elephant interest communities was analyzed,and the basic characteristics of conflict and harmonious coexis-tence between the current interest communities were found,and the manifestations of characteristics and their causes were analyzed in depth.Finally,from the perspective of the action community such as management departments,village farm-ers and the public,suggestions on the path to promote the harmonious coexistence of humans and Asian elephants are pro-posed,which provides theoretical basis and decision-making references for alleviating human-elephant conflicts and realiz-ing harmonious coexistence between the two.
