Our findings are amongst the first to show the likely effect of projected climate on the potential distribution of elephants in a savannah ecosystem. Our results are suggest that the current potential habitat of theelephant is sensitive to anthropogenic interferences, but a changing climate will ...
The main threats to the continued existence of elephants on our planet are poaching habitat loss and climate change. In addition to overall population loss, poaching removes a majority of bulls over the age of 30 and females over the age of 40. Animal researchers believe that the loss of old...
These clashes lead to hundreds of deaths across Asi a and Afric a every year, both elephant and human.Many people around the world are committed to preserving these ancient creatures. Elephants are important keystone species shaping and maintaining the ecosystems around them. Since the main threat...
"We must urgently put an end to poaching and ensure that sufficient suitable habitat for both forest and savannah elephants is conserved," said Bruno Oberle, IUCN Director General. The Swiss-based body's latest survey said the savanna elephant was "endangered" and the much smaller, ligh...
African Forest Elephants are threatened throughout much of their natural habitat today mainly due to deforestation and climate change and have been pushed into smaller and smaller pockets of their native lands. African Forest Elephant Behavior and Lifestyle The African Forest Elephant mainly uses its ...
and the general population isthought to be decreasing. This is the result of many factors, including the effects of war, climate change, and severe reduction of habitat due to development, agriculture, drilling, and mining. However, the number one threat to the African forest elephantremains poa...
(CHIRPS59). In the analysis, we took the natural logarithm of this variable because of its left skewed distribution. This climate variable was included to allow for changes in natural elephant mortality. Variation might arise from two processes. Sites with higher precipitation may identify denser ...
Protected areas of elephant habitat and wildlife corridors between them are essential to the long-term survival of the species3. Conservation of wildlife habitat and biodiversity are among the goals of Transfrontier Conservation Areas (TFCAs), which are conservation initiatives which encompass private ...
This is the result of many factors, including poaching for the elephant’s ivory, the effects of war, climate change, and serious reduction of habitat due to development, agriculture, drilling, and mining. Due to their gargantuan food needs, elephants can also be a serious threat to farmers,...
link between environmental governance, peace, and security. Countries that have lost their elephant populations have all too often descended into civil strife. Through the results of this study we hope to obtain a clear picture of the trend of poaching and elephant populations in all of Gabon.”...
