I was wondering if UXOs have contributed to any animal specie extinction in Laos.  These would be the larger size animals like the Saola unicorn.


There would be no way to know that.

But the fact that around one person per day continues to be killed by American UXO should not be overlooked or forgotten by anybody.

Seem like Laos is curse or something. Our belove motherland has alway been invade, destroy and control by foreign power. Our people suffer and live in poverty. When I think about UXO and the victims it bring tear to my eye.

Yes, there are still wild elephants deep in the forest. Visitors can see or ride elephants at Ban Gun Zoo, about an hour's drive from Vientiane.

These days, there's not much wild elephants left in Laos. But having said that, the wild elephant population in other countries are also declining.
