EDITORS COMMENTS
Forestry Logging in Burma - Elephant Pulling a Log (circa 1930): A captivating image from the past, this photograph takes us back to the early 20th century when logging was a significant industry in Burma. In this scene, an elephant, a symbol of the region's rich wildlife, is harnessed to pull a heavy log through the forest. The elephant's large, floppy ears flap gently as it strains against the ropes, its powerful trunk reaching out to grasp the log. Surrounding the scene are other animals, including horses and a herd of cattle, which were also used in the logging process. The logging camp, with its simple structures and smoky fires, is reminiscent of the Victorian era, with the grand architecture of the buildings hinting at a bygone age. The landscape is a beautiful blend of forest and farmland, with tall grasses swaying in the breeze and the distant view of a town or village. The elephant's tusks, a valuable resource in this era, are not visible in this image, but the presence of the logging camp suggests that ivory was a significant byproduct of the industry. This photograph offers a glimpse into the history of forestry and logging in Burma, a country known for its rich natural resources and diverse wildlife. It also highlights the traditional methods used in the logging industry during the 1880s, 1890s, and early 1900s, providing a fascinating insight into the past. Today, this image serves as a reminder of the importance of preserving the natural world and the animals that call it home.
