The management of South Africa's elephants is a lightning-rod for a whole range of associated values-based policy issues pertaining to elephant in South Africa. The results of this comprehensive work will pave a way to better resolution of these controversial issues. The research has been thoroughly peer-, stakeholder- and publicity reviewed. It contains contributions from an expert author team comprised of many of the world's leading specialists, including biologists, environmentalists, ethicists, economists and lawyers. This title explores a range of topics: synthsising, evaluating and summarizing knowledge on the biology and ecology of elephants, elephant effects on trees, other herbivores, birds and ecosystem function, management techniques and the social, economic and ethical implications various options. Elephant management is the first of its kind and topical both nationally and internationally. The anticipated readership is broad, including not only conservation policymakers and practitioners in South Africa and Africa, but also postgraduate students in many parts of the world, researchers and academics, conservation NGO's, and members of the public.The title is likely to become required reading for university courses on related topics.
