Synopsis
From the book:
"I just want to make sure there are elephants around for generations to enjoy, like I have."
In 1979, the African elephant population was 1.3 million. By 1989 that total dropped dramatically to 609,000. During the 1980s, poachers killed some three hundred elephants a day. Although active measures were soon enforced to protect African and Asian elephant populations, the elephant's future is still uncertain.
Elephant Rescue traces the efforts of individuals and organizations that confront the international ivory trade and lobby indigenous governments to create protective environments. One innovative program described is green hunting. Sport hunters who once shot and killed elephants are now given the opportunity to use tranquilizers. The animal suffers no harm and accompanying researchers can fit these elephants with a radio collar for further studies.
The book also covers:
- How elephants live
- Ways elephants protect their families
- Elephants' astonishingly intricate behavior
- Physiology, life span, diet and more.
Elephant Rescue is a fascinating book about how people and elephants can thrive in a shared environment.
