Book (stand-alone)ProceedingsGiants on our hands. Proceedings of the international workshop on the domesticated Asian elephant 2002
Also available in:
No results found.FAO organized the first ever international workshop on domesticated elephants from 5 to 10 February 2001 at its regional office in Bangkok. Prior to the workshop, a series of studies in 11 domesticated elephant range countries was carried out and the results were presented at the workshop. The countries include Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka, Thailand and Viet Nam. The workshop defined the situation of domesticated elephants; identified prior ity areas of work, especially on registration and laws; developed work plans for each identified priority area; and developed a networking mechanism. This publication should serve as a useful source of information and a good reference guide for elephant managers, specialists, non-governmental organizations and donors seeking opportunities to improve the management and utilization of Asian elephants. -
Book (series)Manual / guideElephant care manual for mahouts and camp managers 2005
Also available in:
This manual represents the latest collaboration in a long and fruitful relationship between the Forest Industry Organization of Thailand and the FAO Regional Office for Asia and the Pacific to improve the conservation, management, and welfare of the Asian elephant. The English edition is a mirror version of the Thai language edition. The Thai edition is intended primarily for men whose education rarely extends beyond four years and whose understanding of science (and thus hygiene, disease, etc.) is particularly poor. The aim of the book has been to enable mahouts to better support the work of veterinarians, not to do the veterinarian's job. The three primary goals are to help mahouts come to quicker diagnoses, to better communicate symptoms to veterinarians over the phone, and to improve care in follow up. An underlying goal has been to encourage the prevention of diseases and conditions occurring by paying more attention to food, appropriate work, and hygiene. Besides mahouts, the second important audience for this book is camp managers. Some camp managers are quite knowledgeable about elephants while others are simply administrators. Given their control over food, budgets, work assignments, etc., camp managers often have more influence over elephants' health than do the mahouts themselves. Finally, it is hoped that this manual, besides improving the care and welfare of the Asian elephant, will help outsiders more clearly see the elephant health care problems facing both Thai mahouts and managers. -

BookletCorporate general interestEmissions due to agriculture
Global, regional and country trends 2000–2018
2021Also available in:
No results found.The FAOSTAT emissions database is composed of several data domains covering the categories of the IPCC Agriculture, Forestry and Other Land Use (AFOLU) sector of the national GHG inventory. Energy use in agriculture is additionally included as relevant to emissions from agriculture as an economic production sector under the ISIC A statistical classification, though recognizing that, in terms of IPCC, they are instead part of the Energy sector of the national GHG inventory. FAO emissions estimates are available over the period 1961–2018 for agriculture production processes from crop and livestock activities. Land use emissions and removals are generally available only for the period 1990–2019. This analytical brief focuses on overall trends over the period 2000–2018.
