阅读训练：Wildlife Protection Section A Four adult elephants from Indonesia’s Elephant Flying Park gathered on Saturday in Riau Province. They carried banners1 calling for the immediate protection of the remaining forests of Sumatra （苏门答腊）. Riau has a fast deforestation2 rate in the world, threatening some of the endangered species on earth, including Sumatran elephants and tigers. The event was held in a lowland forest area in Riau, Central Sumatra. Sumatra, the world’s sixth largest island, is the only place on earth where tigers, elephants and chimpanzees coexist. The event took place as part of climate-change activities around the world. The four elephants joined more than 4,300 communities in over 170 countries to urge world leaders to take immediate steps to deal with climate change and protect wild animals. The four adult elephants are former wild elephants coming from the forested areas of Riau, and they were captured3 by the Indonesian government as “conflict elephants.” The WWF and Tesso Nilo Park now use them to keep wild elephants in the forested area, so that they won’t be captured.
