Since 1990 ATE has offered courses to wildlife managers and other researchers from elephant range state countries throughout Africa and Asia. KWS ATE works hand in hand with KWS by sharing research findings and technical skills, enhancing vigilance and promoting harmonious community relations. Amboseli Trust for Elephants (Kenya) www.elephanttrust.org. We estimate that at any one time 80% of the wildlife in Amboseli is using community lands; without community participation there is simply no future for wildlife. The program aims to finance a maximum of eight girls at any one time. US captive elephant populations are declining, necessitating the continued import of wild-caught elephants. Our collaborations extend across many subject areas: Communication is the glue that binds the social network of an intelligent species. Our routine daily observations note associations between family units and independent males, geographic location, group size, composition, activity and habitat type. Joyce Poole and Petter Granli recorded and analyzed Other communication studies have focused on elephants’ capacity for individual recognition: Karen McComb pioneered the playback approach and demonstrated that each female elephant recognizes around 100 other females from voice alone. The model has critical value in being able to project elephant population size under future environmental conditions and is applicable to other mammalian herbivores with appropriate parameterisation. More remarkably, the numbers of two threatened species, the elephant and giraffe, have grown.

An extreme drought event in 2009 caused the death of many of these important leaders. The number of elephants speared dropped by more than half after the initiation of the consolation scheme. ATE hosts visiting researchers who contribute to the growing understanding of African elephants in general, and the knowledge base for the sustained future of the Amboseli population in particular. This friendly interaction is essential to ensure that landowners maintain a tolerant attitude to the presence and passage of elephants on their group ranch land. Joyce Poole and Petter Granli recorded and analyzed Amboseli elephant vocalizations as part of the work of their NGO ElephantVoices. ATE operations outside the park include employing fifteen Maasai elephant scouts who patrol the ecosystem on foot, reporting elephant presence and signs, injured elephants and conflicts, as well as signs of poaching and the bushmeat trade. In the new petition, world-renowned elephant experts, including the co-founder of ElephantVoices, Joyce Poole, and the programme director at the Amboseli Trust for Elephants, Cynthia Moss, have submitted affidavits in support of the NhRP’s lawsuit. Beth’s student Patrick Chiyo studied the socio-ecology of crop-raiding elephants using genetic techniques. ATE’s approach is aimed at maintaining the conservation ethos which has been part of Maasai tradition, but which is increasingly threatened by the pressures of 21st century human society. Let’s take a closer look at the Amboseli record and the cause of … “(…) zoos, as they currently exist, are not suitably equipped to house and care for, and should not be considered appropriate and acceptable destinations for, live, wild-sourced African elephants,” says a CITES report on International Trade in live and wild-caught African elephants by Keith Lindsey of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants and Iris Ho of Humane Society International.

This scheme has since become a model in other areas and for other species. Elephant cognition is the study of animal cognition as present in elephants.Most contemporary ethologists view the elephant as one of the world's most intelligent animals. Cross-referenced to behavioral observations, the DNA analysis by Beth Archie examined survival strategies based on relatedness. African elephants are wide-ranging, intelligent animals with complex social structures underpinned by strong family bonds. Unlike our Elatia program where many people follow the same family, our naming program is a unique experience. Their aim is to build our scientific understanding of the intelligence and social complexity of elephants and enhance the toolbox for their conservation and management. var addyf8e5494b59eb60649b9a3621d415d71e = 'phyllis.lee' + '@'; ATE has an innovative and successful consolation scheme to assist members of the community who lose livestock to elephants. We used photographic identities, maintained by AERP, on all Amboseli males and identities compiled by … Our research has highlighted the ethical implications of dealing with sentient, long-lived, intelligent and social complex animals and our knowledge base provides powerful and authoritative support to elephant conservation and advocacy campaigns worldwide. We record all demographic events in the population; births and deaths, musth, oestrus and mating. Started in 1997 the program pays an owner of a cow, sheep or goat a set amount when an elephant kills any livestock on community lands. The girls are chosen on the basis of performance in primary school and an interview. “The Amboseli Elephants is the most outstanding book ever published on these magnificent animals. We are constantly maintaining and updating our individual records, and we also carry out basic ecological monitoring through vegetation plots, water table measurements and rainfall. We had proof of the value of this approach in 2012, when a local Maasai man waited for five hours beside an elephant calf trapped in a well. These members of our Scientific Advisory Committee maintain contact with respected elephant care experts in Asia, Europe and the US, and maintain dialogue with some of the key players in elephant welfare in UK (Born Free Foundation) and the US (PAWS and IDA). To serve as a ‘watchdog,’ ensuring land use planning and management as well as potential investment and development in the area is done responsibly and sustainably and seeks to keep the ecosystem intact.

Now 47 years old, Tim was named by Cynthia Moss, founder of the Amboseli Trust for Elephants, as part of what has become the world’s longest running scientific study of the species. Scouts also assist in verification of consolation claims. Within families we monitor female affiliation and the dispersal of young males from their family to analyze family dynamics. Amboseli stands alone as the only ecosystem in Kenya to have sustained its wildlife numbers since the 1970s. Without this man’s care and respect, the calf, who we called Lemoyian, would certainly have died. The four-decade-long Amboseli dataset is now yielding exciting insights into these questions; Phyllis’ work has recently demonstrated that early life experiences have survival and fitness consequences across individual lifetimes. To be consistent, this programme should be extended to discourage the viewing of wild animals in unnatural captivity, especially elephants. Vicki Fishlock’s work, supported by the International Fund for Animal Welfare, aims to assess the social and reproductive effects of these losses. To provide a link between different stakeholders in the Amboseli ecosystem, ensuring interests and actions are aligned, coordinated, and in the best interest of local resident communities and the ecosystem’s sustainability. Karen McComb and Graeme Shannon have expanded Karen’s early work on elephant communication and vocal recognition into the cognitive sphere by presenting elephants with a series of acoustic “threats” via playback experiments. ATE is bringing its specialized knowledge of elephant behavior and society to bear on developing conflict-reduction strategies that are consistent with rural agriculture and Maasai livestock husbandry (see also Community Outreach).
