Caption

Land once filled with oil palms but now overgrown. Elephants rampaged across this area, trampling plants in search of food because their local habitat had been destroyed. Areas like this had to be abandoned by local farmers as they could not afford to replant them. The villagers call this "Teletubby Land" because of its flat green appearance.
