๐ Letโs kick off our week with a tribute to a true inspiration: Mark Shand. ๐โจ As a British traveler and elephant conservationist, his love for India, especially Assam, knew no bounds. Shandโs impactful work, including his bestselling book ยซMy Elephantยป and his role as chairman of the Elephant Family charity, has left an indelible mark on the world of conservation. ๐๐ He passed away in April 2014, but his legacy continues to inspire us to protect and cherish our planetโs majestic creatures.

When science is ignored in favour of rhetoric and misinformation, it is more critical than ever to scrutinise how policy is shaped and who it prioritises. Biodiversity at large is increasingly threatened by overexploitation and unsustainable use. Greenwashing narratives of sustainability and conservation employing misinformation will only serve to harm KAZAโs critical elephant populations.ย EWBโs recent technical report reviewing the 2022 survey across the KAZA region notes the elephant population appears to be relatively stable overall, however, the results for Zambia, Botswana and Angola show worrisome indications, including high carcass ratios, large declines, and evidence of recent poaching. Elephant numbers in Botswana have increased slightly by 1.3%, in contrast to the Botswana governmentโs claim of 7.6% growth per year. Crucially, numbers of elephants decreased by 25% in areas that were open to hunting and increased by 28% in areas where hunting is not allowed. The KAZA survey also recorded the highest fresh carcass ratio in Botswana, further contradicting claims of a population explosion and that there was no poaching. Conservation Action Trustโs Stephanie Klarmann explains (original article in Daily Maverick) photo: Kelly Landen, a herd surrounds a young elephantโs carcass, that appears to be a natural mortality https://www.conservationaction.co.za/the-numbers-dont-support-botswanas-threat-to-send-30000-elephants-to-europe/ #sciencematters #stoppoaching #truthseeker #elephantsurvey #kaza #elephantswithoutborders

Wildlife corridors are key conservation tools, whether they be large crossing the terrain of international boundaries -or- small, as the corridors EWB has identified within the townships and villages in Chobe district. Corridors allow wildlife to move between important habitat patches. These connectivity paths facilitate human wildlife coexistence, as they provide safe access to required resources (especially water) by reducing interactions between people and wildlife. Habitat fragmentation is a growing risk around the globe, making wildlife corridors ever more important! #coexist #lovenature #elephantswithoutborders #wildlifecorridors #safehabitat #protectwildlife

โ๐ VICTORYโ BANGLADESH BANS ADOPTION OF WILD ELEPHANTS. ๐ There are now only about 200 of the critically endangered elephants in Bangladesh, with about half of those living in captivity. โ BBC ๐ The country used to be one of the major homes for the Asian elephant but poaching and habitat loss has caused a marked decrease in their numbers. ๐ Under the previous scheme, young elephants could be taken into captivity where the forestry department issued licenses to logging groups who would use the animals to haul logs. Others ended up in circus groups. Such exploitation broke the terms of the licenses, the court said. ๐ฃ Track the developments here: https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-68398675 ๐ Help support GMFERโs work here: https://gmfer.org/donate/ #MarchAgainstExtinction #GMFER #SaveOurWildWorld #SaveAsianElephants #TransfrontierAfrica #MizuEcocare #RARESriLanka #Elephanatics #TwoMillionTusks #ElephantswithoutBorders #Traffic #USFWS #USDepartmentoftheInterior #ActionforElephantsUK Image credit: ยฉPixabay.com/Pixel-mixer/Anrita1705/Republica
Iโm proud to be co-author to this exciting and novel publication, based on the first research done on elephant sleep patterns in the wild. Previously, all the information known on elephantsโ sleep was attained by observations of elephants in captivity. But, what about elephants in their wild, natural environment where they have to contend with survival skills and changing environmental conditions? So, we collaborated with researchers from the University of Witwatersrand and UCLA to find some answers. On adult, female, African elephants, we deployed GPS collars adding small gyroscopes and โactiwatch implantsโ โ the equivalent of animal Fitbits โ to monitor the elephantsโ activity levels, discovering some really interesting observations: * the elephants slept on average for only TWO hours a day; apparently the least of any mammals! * most of their sleep was while standing (adults), but they lay down to sleep every third or fourth day; * there were nights when they didnโt sleep at all, and moved long distances of 10-30 km; * Elephants dream, but apparently they only dream every 3 to 4 days, when they sleep longer durations to reach REM sleep; * the time they went to sleep and woke coincided with conditions not related to sunrise or sunset, rather, both were strongly related to the โreal feelโ of the environment; a mix of temperature, humidity, wind speed and solar radiation. @plosjournals @womeninconservation #elephantsleep #elephantsdream #elephantresearch #elephantstudy #wildliferesearch #elephantswithoutborders #plosone #freeelephants #lovenature #scienceisreal

EWB Publication highlighted: What are the prospects of opening up corridors and improving connections between protected areas? Elephants need space, water, grass and trees as well as freedom from harassment. However, savanna Africa is no longer theirs. Because unsuitable areas for elephants surround their habitats, their movement is restricted by artificial barriers, such as roads or fences. Long-term population stability will be difficult without their dispersal. Reconnecting nature offers a solution. In cooperation with local communities and governments, protecting the connections for elephant dispersal may represent some of our best chances at a sustainable future for elephants. https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0275791 @dailymaverick @plosone #sciencematters #elephantcorridors #elephantresearch #naturesolutions #sustainablefuture #satellitetelemetry #telemetry #saveelephants #ceru #conservationresearch #elephantswithoutborders #fieldwork
