Produktbeschreibung

Elephants are among the most magnificent-but also most problematic-members of South Africas wildlife population. While they are sought after by South African and foreign tourists alike, they also have a major impact on their environment. As a result, elephant management has become a highly complex and often controversial discipline. "Elephant Management" is the first book of its kind, combining the work of more than 60 national and international experts. Extensively reviewed by policy-makers and other stakeholders, it is the most systematic and comprehensive review of savanna elephant populations and factors relevant to managing them to date. R.J. Scholes is an ecologist at the South African Council for Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), with a special interest in savanna ecosystems. Kathleen G. Mennell is a masters student in the Ecosystem Processes and Dynamics Research Group at the CSIR. She coordinatedthe assessment process and resulting publication.
