Dear Colleagues:
You may know that the largest surviving population of the Asian elephant lives in India, alongside 1.3 billion humans on approximately 3 million sq. km.
In the early years of the present century, the Government of India's Ministry of Environment and Forests appointed a cross-disiplinary task force of experts to report on the history and futue management of wild elephants. The report was completed and submitted in record time and published on August 31, 2010.
