A groundbreaking study on African elephant communication has revealed that elephants, like humans, use ‘names’ to address each other.

Powerful, award-winning nature films like ‘The Elephant Queen’, made by filmmakers Mark Deeble, Victoria Stone and Etienne Oliff, have the potential to reshape attitudes and garner support for elephants in rural communities, according to a new study.
While the use of stable isotopes in wildlife ecological research is growing rapidly, development of methods to establish time-specific isotope data from continuously growing animal tissues are lacking.
African and Asian elephants are in for tough times ahead. Their problems are complex. In southern Africa worries are still expressed about ‘too many elephants’ destroying woody vegetation in protected areas.
Two hundred years of elephant hunting for ivory, peaking in 1970–1980s, caused local extirpations and massive population declines across Africa.
The internal state of an individual—as it relates to thirst, hunger, fear, or reproductive drive—can be inferred by referencing points on its movement path to external environmental and sociological variables.
Hormones play a crucial role in mediating genetic and environmental effects into morphological and behavioral phenotypes. In systems with alternative reproductive tactics (ART) shifts between tactics are hypothesized to be under proximate hormonal control
We investigated population genetic structure and regional differentiation among African savannah elephants in Kenya using mitochondrial and microsatellite markers.
The 1990s have been the first years since the 1960s that Kenya’s elephants have not substantially declined in numbers. Major savannah populations such as Tsavo, Laikipia–Samburu and Amboseli have increased significantly; others such as Mara and Meru have
This report is the fifth in a series of surveys that depict the status and trends of the elephant ivory markets in a particular region of the world.
Conservation managers are concerned about the impact that African elephants (Loxodonta africana) have on large tree species, necessitating the need for mitigation methods.
L’équipe du Projet Eléphant Mali constituée de la WILD Foundation, de Save the Elephants et de l’Environment and Development Group est heureuse de soumettre ce rapport sur la première phase (2003-2006) du projet.
