African Elephant Database Project: Final Report – Phase One. (1987)

The objective of this report is to provide information on elephant numbers, distribution and trends, and factors affecting these, which will be helpful to countries in reviewing and setting quotas under the CITES Ivory Export Quota agreement. The data on elephants have been acquired from published scientific literature, reports of aerial or ground surveys, and from a series of questionnaires distributed up to December 1986.
