Abstract
Elephants have fascinated humans for millennia. Forest elephants engineer and alter vast tract of habitat in the forest of Central Africa. Like elephants elsewhere, they are severely threatened and are disappearing before we can understand what we are losing. This book compiles expertise from biologists and wildlife managers who have dedicated their lives to protecting wildlife and wild places, especially elephants. It is intended as a guide for conservation practioners, managers and students working in forest elephant habitats. In it, we pool out knowledge about the best ways to count elephants, study their behaviour, take genetic samples and communicate research results. We aslo discuss ways to protect elephant, monitor how they are faring, and the basic of setting up a camp and finding funding to support a study. We hop it helps and inspires those charged with protecting forest elephants across Africa.
