Deforestation puts lives on the line in rural Myanmar

 Myanmar is home to almost 5,000 captive elephants, many who work alongside humans in the logging industry.

A 2015 forestry assessment done by the UN found Myanmar had the third highest rate of annual forest reduction in the world.  

Lost habitat and a ban have left elephants with less habitat and less work.
