EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1906, depicts a scene of Burmese elephants at work in the forested outskirts of Yangon, Myanmar, then known as Rangoon, in South East Asia. The elephants are shown moving large timber trunks with great care and precision, using their powerful trunks and agile limbs to lift and transport the heavy logs. The elephants appear to be working in harmony with their mahouts, or trainers, who stand nearby, guiding them with subtle commands. The use of elephants for timber transport was a common practice in Myanmar during the colonial era, as the vast forests of the country provided an abundant source of timber for the British-run logging industry. The elephants' strength and dexterity made them ideal for navigating the rugged terrain and moving the heavy logs to the riverbanks for transportation downstream. Despite the passage of time, this image offers a glimpse into the rich cultural heritage and natural history of Myanmar, where elephants have long been an integral part of the forest ecosystem and the daily lives of local communities. Today, efforts are underway to protect these magnificent animals and their habitats, ensuring that future generations can continue to marvel at their strength and grace.
