Than Shin, 52 holds her grandchild and stands in front of her family’s tree-house built for protection, after telling on her personal experience of the wild elephants attacking on her house in Kyar Chaung village, Taikkyi Township February 6, 2013. People in Kyar Chaung and surrounding villages some 60 miles from Yangon live in constant fear of wild elephants after animals start attacking humans some 15 years ago. Every year average of seven people die from such attacks in the village area, according to the government’s forest department. Elephants come close to the villages because of lack of food in the real forests where they usually live due to many trees chopped down, villagers say. Picture taken February 8, 2013.
