Review of options for managing the impacts of locally overabundant African elephants

2007 Balfour, D. | Dublin, Holly T. | Fennessy, J. | Gibson, D. | Niskanen, L. | Whyte, I. J. |

Some of the most important decisions in wildlife management in Africa revolve around elephants. Where elephant densities increase the impact of elephants on their habitats and other species may also increase. Depending on local values and/or the land-use objectives, this impact is often seen as undesirable. Information about attempts to control wild populations of elephants is generally not readily accessible to the relevant managers and conservation authorities in Africa.

Diretrizes para a translocação in situ de elefantes africanos para fins de conservação

African elephants are confronted with habitat loss and degradation and increasing levels of human – elephant conflict. Management authorities in sub-Saharan Africa are increasingly turning to translocation as a means to meet such challenges. This trend has to take into account changing political and welfare considerations for elephants, and managers need to understand the justification for translocation as well as the technical challenges.
