Abstract
The tropical rainforest of Xishuangbanna is one of the two tropical rainforests in China. The rich species of plants and animals make it an important scientific investigation site and an important research base. And the protection of tropical rainforest is very important both for biodiversity study and sustainable development. In recent years, Asian elephant living in the tropical rainforest in Xishuangbanna China has received attention both at home and abroad. The northward migration of Asian elephants living in the rainforest has brought attention to the importance of coexistence and interrelation between humans and wild animals. This paper proposed a stardom path of tropical rainforest conservation based on a seven-day field research and investigation by participatory observation, semi-structure interview, and practical experience on the past, nowadays and future of the Asian elephant, Sky tree and traditional culture of local Dai people. The rainforest protection should obey the natural rules, maintain the harmonious coexistence between man and nature. In this way, human civilization can develop sustainably.
