When the freshmen of Yunnan Vocational College of Technology reported in the fall of 2021, some lucky students got an "elephant driver's license."

Many students said that they thought they could really ride an elephant to school.

　　The left side of this "elephant driver's license" is the driver's information, and the right side is the elephant's information.

What’s interesting is that each elephant has a local name in Yunnan: for example, “Shao Bao Gu”, “Burn Bait Block”, “Small Potato”... Elephant’s daily diet includes some fungus foods. Seeing that hand green and dry bacteria are fungi that she has never touched before, and even the taste of elephant’s daily feed. Many students from outside the province have never seen an elephant. It's amazing.

　　Through the teacher's explanation, the students knew that this was a cultural and creative product prepared by the school to let students know more about Yunnan culture.

It is hoped that in this way, we will have a better understanding of the ecological environment and be able to better protect the ecological environment of Yunnan Province and even China.

　　After the first batch of "Elephant Driver's Licenses" was issued at Yunnan Polytechnic Vocational College, it was hard to find in schools.

He Jiawei, the head of the propaganda department of the school’s party committee and the designer of the elephant driver’s license, said that the school only planned to make 300 copies, but now it has decided to increase it to 500 copies.

A study and competition of biological knowledge will be carried out in the school, which will be obtained through the examination of subject 1. The content of the examination will mainly focus on the knowledge of biological diversity.

　　He Jiawei, the designer of the elephant driver’s license, said that the design of the elephant driver’s license combines the hot news of northern Asian elephants and people’s ridicule about “Yunnan people riding elephants to school” over the years. The school wants to adopt such a cultural creation. Products, arouse the consciousness of teachers and students to protect biodiversity.
