Book excerpt: This Action Plan considers elephant populations across Asia on the basis of size and provides recommendations to enhance their long-term survival. It also considers the management of elephants in captivity. Given that the basis for improved management of elephants throughout Asia must be sound systematic scientific research, the Action Plan recommends a number of research projects that need to be carried out in the field.

This book was released on 2017 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'human dimension' must be at the forefront when crafting effective management plans for large mammals in heavily-populated countries such as Bangladesh. There, Asian elephants have been declared critically endangered with only 210-330elephants remaining in highly fragmented pockets of forest, mainly in the southeast part of the country where I based my study. I used a structured questionnaire to explore conflict between the animals and humans; in particular,I investigated how patterns of land use are altering the availability of forage for the animals.The questionnaire was delivered through face-to-face interviews with 171 respondents across 109 villages in and near elephant habitat in southeast Bangladesh. Crop raiding, damage to houses, fruit gardens, and seedlings and other important human values were identified as proximate causes of the human-elephant conflict, occurring throughout the year resulting in at least 18 elephants and 50 humans being killed during 2013-2015. Retaliation methods currently adopted by farmers to deter incursions are traditional and may escalate aggressive interactions. Despite an increasing frequency of incursions, approximately73% of people surveyed favoured elephant conservation, at least in principle. My second objective in this thesis was to improve our appreciation of how the remaining elephant habitat has been altered as a consequence of human activities. For this work, I collected and analyzed Landsat images from the years 1989-2015,and conducted a ground inventory of the elephant habitat. My study indicates≈ 36% of elephant habitat has been lost in the past 26 years from this region. The average canopy cover of the patches I sampled was 31%, at the lower threshold of forest cover suggested to support elephants. Within these patches, forage stocking quantity and quality are likely very poor. Moreover, the existing vegetation communities are currently dominated by non-native species, hampering the growth of native forage. However, dung surveys suggest that elephants are using habitats with vegetation that provides more trees and cover. Effective elephant conservation strategies in Bangladesh will need to incorporate human awareness and attitudes as well as the restoration of habitat to be successful.To achieve this, sufficient funding as well as dedication is required.

Download or read book Man Elephant Conflict written by Nilanjana Das Chatterjee and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-09-29 with total page 202 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book sheds new light on the causes and consequences of elephant migration in the Panchet Forest Division of Bankura District in West Bengal, India- an area characterized by fragmented forested landscape modified by agriculture and settlement expansion. Anthropogenic activities result in the decline in quality and coverage of forests, loss of biodiversity and removal of forest corridors which ultimately restrict or modify the movement of elephants causing a forceful change of their habitats. A major objective of this monograph is to identify the characteristics of man–elephant conflicts in terms of land use change, cropping patterns, ecological characteristics of the fragmented dry deciduous forest, trends and patterns of elephant migration, and livelihood patterns of the inhabitants in the affected areas. Readers will discover insights into changes in the behavioral pattern of elephants and local people in the conflict ridden zones, and how this influences food selection. Through this book we also learn about rational management strategies that can be employed on the local and national level to mitigate human-elephant conflicts. Ecologists, landscape conservation planners and environmental managers engaged in the conservation of large vertebrates in fragmenting and human-dominated landscapes will find this book valuable.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Asian elephant, in spite of its close relationship with man in Asia since time immemorial, is now endangered, largely through loss of habitat. Over the years, a number of research projects on the ecology of the elephant have been initiated by various institutions and groups, includingthe Bombay Natural History Society.This book is a compilation of these papers, dealing with different aspects of the Asian elephant; the philosophy of elephant conversation, the status of the Asian elephant, its conservation and management in the wilds and in captivity, and other kinds of research work, as well as notes on theAfrican elephant. Numerous plates and relevant diagrams and tables supplement the text at various places. The work is essential reading for elephant ecologists, natural history enthusiasts and environmentalists.
