The Yunnan Asian Elephant Provenance Breeding and Rescue Center is set up near the Wild Elephant Valley Scenic Spot in Xishuangbanna Dai Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan Province. It is currently the only scientific research base in China that focuses on the research of Asian elephant rescue and breeding.

Observing feces, washing elephant houses, bathing elephants, and taking body temperature are the daily tasks of breeders. They take care of Asian elephants like children and are called "Elephant Daddy".
