Nghe An is at risk of losing its elephants forever as the animals don't have mates to reproduce and increasing human encroachment of their habitat is making things worse.

 

The central province is currently home to around 14-16 wild elephants living in five different herds, according to the provincial forest rangers.

 

Of these, the biggest has around eight-nine elephants, living in the Pu Mat National Park. Some are loners and others move around in pairs.
