Drawing from the example of Asian elephant () conservation in Laos, this article primarily intends to reveal the elephantocentric vision adopted by mainstream conservation project in direction to the species. In the second part, I will present some ethnographic notes collected among local population who daily live and work with pachyderms. These notes will help in opening up a broader and more ecocentric approach of elephant conservation by highlighting links between biological and cultural diversity. By revealing the cosmo-ecological view of elephants as thought locally, I will then propose an enlarged vision of elephant conservation.
借鉴老挝亚洲象（）保护的例子，本文主要旨在揭示主流保护项目针对该物种所采用的以大象为中心的愿景。在第二部分，我将呈现一些在与厚皮动物一起生活和工作的当地人群中收集到的民族志笔记。这些笔记将通过强调生物多样性和文化多样性之间的联系，有助于开启一种更广泛、更以生态为中心的大象保护方法。通过揭示当地人所认为的大象的宇宙生态观，我随后将提出一种扩大了的大象保护愿景。
