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. The information needed to underpin vital decisions about elephant management has largely been unavailable to decision-makers, contested by experts, or simply unknown. As a result, the South African Minister for Environmental Affairs and Tourism convened a round table to advise him on this issue. The round table recommended that a scienti?c assessment of elephant management be undertaken to gather, evaluate, and present all the relevant information on this topic. Its main ?ndings and recommendations are contained in this volume. Elephant Management is the ?rst 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. As such it is of interest to a broad spectrum of readers in South Africa and elsewhere. Above all, it is aimed at helping conservation policy-makers and practitioners to choose the best possible options for the sustainable preservation of these iconic animals.</p>...1400475Elephant management646718https://www.gandhi.com.mx/elephant-management-1/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/565339/558154cd-a958-4c6a-a73f-ee629616d133.jpg?v=638335317991600000InStockMXN99999DIEbook20089781776142279_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_<p>Elephants are among the most magni?cent but also most problematic members of South Africas wildlife population.
