Articles liés à Coming of Age with Elephants
Synopsis
Joyce Poole was lucky enough to experience the beauty of Africa from an early age, and as soon as she had the opportunity she decided to make Africa - and more importantly elephants - her life. Aged just 19, she was living alone in the bush in Kenya studying elephants. There - as well as the very real dangers of living in the wild - she faced the challenge of trying to unravel the behavioural patterns and communication of this extraordinary species. She spent 14 years living in a tented camp in Amboseli National Park in order to carry out her research. Her scientific discoveries are renowned throughout the world and have made a significant contribution to our understanding of elephants.

Présentation de l'éditeur
The subject of numerous television features (including a popular National Geographic special), Coming of Age with Elephants passionately documents renowned animal behaviorist Joyce Poole's groundbreaking work with 800 elephants at Kenya's Amboseli National Park, discovering the intricacies of elephant social structure, sex cycles, and communication, and their intelligence and remarakble empathy.
Présentation de l'éditeur
The educational and inspirational biography of Joyce Poole describes the life of a courageous woman who struggled with loneliness, sexism, and the threat of bandit-poachers to make her contribution to the conservation of the endangered African elephant.
