    Elephant 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.

    Transfrontier Corridors for West African Elephants. The Bia-Diambarakrou Elephant Corridor

    Also available in:

    Fragmentation and shrinkage of wildlife habitat has threatened the existence of many species in the high forest zone of western Ghana. Mega-herbivores like forest elephants with a large home range and equally large food requirements have been among the most affected species. This is one of the causes of increased human–elephant conflict and damage to property and life in western Ghana. Strategies to reduce the adverse effect of habitat fragmentation have been widely discussed and one proposed method for moderating the negative effects of habitat fragmentation is the preservation and restoration of biological corridors or the linear landscape between wildlife habitats. The Bia-Diambarakrou Trans-frontier Elephant Corridor between south-western Ghana and South-eastern Cote d’Ivoire has been identified by government stakeholders and conservation partners as a priority conservation hotspot that requires immediate conservation action because it harbours high concentrations of endemic and threatened species of the Upper Guinea Forest Ecosystem and yet threatened from agricultural expansion, hunting pressure, over-harvesting of forest products and human-wildlife conflicts. In 2017, the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO) of the United Nations took up the challenge to enhance sustainable livelihoods of local communities living in and around the area through sound agricultural and conservation practices. FAO attempted to address this problem through its project GCP/RAF/477/GFF “Development of a trans-frontier conservation area linking forest reserves and protected areas in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire” which aims to establish a viable and sustainable trans-frontier conservation area (corridor) that links the Bia Conservation Area in south-western Ghana and Diambarakrou Forêt Classée in south-eastern Cote d’Ivoire.
