82. How Domesticated Elephants Can Help Their Wild Relations elephants born in captivity can be released into the wild Domesticated elephants can be trained to control wild elephants, to relocate them or capture http://www.fao.org/News/1998/wild-e.htm

How domesticated elephants can help their wild relations It is not only Asia's domesticated elephant population that is in crisis . The wild population in many countries is "severely threatened by habitat destruction, poaching and fragmentation into small, isolated groups",according to Richard C. Lair's new book, "Gone Astray: the care and management of the Asian elephant in domesticity". Calves born in captivity can be released to bolster wild numbers Poachers hunt bull elephants for their tusks. And elephants in Thailand, for example, have just begun to be killed in response to crop raiding. Reports from the Thai border with Myanmar strongly suggest that sometimes cow elephants are shot solely so that the hunters might capture and sell their calves. Lair argues that the troubled domestic populations could help save Asia's wild elephants. The Asian elephant has never been selectively bred. Unlike what happened with cattle or horses, for example, people have never systematically chosen elephants to mate to create an ideal temperament or physical type. As a result, the domesticated elephant remains genetically a true wild animal. Also, because most elephants are taken out at night to feed and rest in nature, held only by a tethering chain, perhaps two out of three are preconditioned to the wild and would survive if released. It is as if there were thousands of tigers or Sumatran rhinos or any other endangered species kept by villagers in anticipation of release, a resource unique in wildlife conservation.

Overview Sentenced to Life: Elephant Captivity Stats Captive Breeding: A Dismal Failure San Diego Zoo Wild Elephant Capture Six Flags Surrenders Permits to Import Asian Elephant Babies More information on www.savesfzooelephants.com CLICK HERE FOR URGENT UPDATE! U.S. Zoos Launch Major Effort to Import Wild Elephants Faced with early deaths, unsuccessful captive breeding programs and the prospect that their elephant "collections" will die out over the next 50 years, U.S. zoos have launched a major effort to restock by importing young elephants from Africa and Asia. Zoos condemn elephants - many captured from the wild - to a life of captivity under conditions that do not come close to approximating life in the wild for these complex and intelligent animals. IDA has been at the forefront of efforts to stop the zoos' import plans so that endangered and threatened elephants remain with their families in the wild where they belong. These efforts have included a successful lawsuit to prevent the Six Flags amusement park company from importing two baby Asian elephants to a Northern California amusement park. here to read more about the elephant capture.

Two wild elephants, birds, butterflies and 36 hairpin bends Filed under: Travel As usual, some highlights from the weekend trip. The route Bangalore - Mysore – Bandipur (Day 1) Bandipur - Gopalswamy Betta – Mudumalai – Ooty (Day 2) Ooty – Bangalore (Day 3) We have breakfast at the beautiful Lalith Mahal Palace hotel in Mysore Sunflower fields on the way to Bandipur, after we cross Mysore. Yellow expanse against the brilliant blue skies, and the green vegetation – the contrast created a picture perfect sight. I get to take over the wheels a bit, a nice drive with no traffic, which suits me just fine In the evening, we head out on a safari in the Bandipur forest – we spot sambar, cheetal, wild bison, peacocks lots of beautiful butterflies and birds (still not very familiar with birdie names) but no elephants. At the place we stay in Bandipur, we discover Boost We drive through Bandipur in the morning, a beautiful peacock preens beside the road, shows off a little. Then strolls across the road to the other side, right in front of the car (while I try and scramble for my camera, but too late!). It disappears into the forest before I get a chance to click. Drat. The view from atop Gopalswamy Betta (about 20 kms from Bandipur and the highest point of the park). One side is the forest area, and on the other is a huge expanse of plains. An absolutely amazing view. We park the car and try to walk up a hill with some interesting rock formations, but a forest guard turns us back. Not allowed!

88. Wild Life It is estimated that there are about 2500 to 3000 elephants in Sri Lanka, in an effort to help preserve Asia s dwindling wildelephant population. http://www.infolanka.com/photo/wild.html

The gray langur, with the midnight-black face (shown here) and the macaque, or the red monkey are seen widespread in Sri Lanka's jungle areas and sometimes even in the small villages. The larger of the two species, the langur, lives in large groups among the trees and is usually not aggressive. Groups of these monkeys are a common sight at some of the Buddhist temples in the dry region, and most often seen begging for give-aways, or if un-successful, stealing, from the unsuspecting visitor. The red monkey, with a brown colored coat and a pink face, is far more aggressive, and quick tempered. This species, if provoked, have known to attack humans occasionally. There are several other species of monkey in the Sri Lanka jungles, but they are confined to the hilly and mostly inaccessible areas and for this reason are not seen by the average visitor to the island. Text: Siri Ekanayake Photo: Luxshmanan Nadaraja The peacock, largest of the pheasants, is native to Sri Lanka and India. It is often the male of the species that is shown in photographs, showing the beautiful plumage. Hence the simile "proud as a peacock". The female (pea hen) lacks the beautiful ornamental feathers or the bright coloring. Although native to Sri Lanka, the peacock population has gone down considerably, for, at one time it was considered a delicacy and peafowl were hunted down indiscriminately. Pea fowl are tamed quite readily, and sometimes can be seen in the lawns of some of the hotels, and bigger private residences.

At least two people are reportedly dead, and several villagers were injured in the elephant attacks. The elephants also destroyed 10 houses from two modern villages, Tha Zin Myine and Padauk Myine, during the attack. The elephants suddenly intruded into the villages in a midnight when the villagers were falling asleep. The villages are at the foothills of the the Mayu mountains, the westernmost mountain range of Burma under Rathidung township, 20 miles north of Akyab. The Mayu range is situated near the Bay of Bangle, where there are a large number of wild elephants inhabiting in the area.

Mass Reports of Wild Animals Sensing Tsunami National Geographic http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2005/01/0104_050104_tsunami_animals.html "Wild animals survive by being always alert. That's what keeps them alive. Nature is very resilient. We shouldn't forget the fact that we are also part of nature." Amongst the news reports of the recent Asian tsunami are numerous uncanny stories from across the region of animals who appear to have sensed the disaster before it happened. In Sri Lanka, for example, Yala National Park suffered numerous human casualties, but bizarrely "the wildlife suffered almost no casualties. The elephants, wild boar, deer, monkeys and others had moved inland to avoid the killer waves." Some survivors, for instance, have described how the monkeys refused to accept bananas shortly before the tsunami arrived: "Bananas would be something normally that would make monkeys go bananas. These monkeys were totally disinterested, staring up in a confused mode as if they were reacting to something."

Bates denied a preliminary injunction request that would have barred the San Diego Zoo and Lowry Park Zoo from immediately importing eleven wild African elephants from their homes in Swaziland and incarcerating them in restrictive 2.5-acre enclosures in the United States. The plaintiffs in the case, organized loosely as the Save Wild Elephants coalition, decried the ruling, saying the judge had responded to threats to kill the elephants if they were not imported. At a preliminary injunction hearing on August 6, lawyers for the zoos arrogantly warned the judge against playing "Russian roulette" with the lives of these elephants. "It's the height of hypocrisy for the zoos' hired henchmen to create a situation where elephants' lives are unnecessarily in peril and then blame a U.S. judge if they die," said

The Human/Elephant Conflict Pala U District, Petchaburi Province RELATED ARTICLES: The Asian Elephant Reducing Conflicts Thailand's Elephant Problems Pala U News Agricultural activities , unsustainable development, land clearing, settlement and poaching increasingly threaten the few remaining wild herds of Asian elephants. These activities lead to human /elephant conflict. A crucial factor in the survival of both species is, amongst other things, the availability of large enough areas that are managed sustainably to meet the needs of both human and animal populations. Habitat loss Understanding the threats to elephants and the local population's livelihood, WAR is in the process of setting up a team partnership project, enlisting the help of local people in this area, international experts in human/elephant conflict resolution and assistance from both the Thai Forestry Department and academic institutions, to seek much needed support for conservation efforts and long-term solutions. Addressing the conflict will be the first phase of this project by creating a database of migratory patterns, populations and monitoring of animal movements during the dry season (October - May). Primarily local people living in the area would conduct this survey. By getting them involved in the project would ensure local commitment and its long-term sustainability. The survey would seek to identify conflict level and gauge the villager's willingness to be involved in a joint elephant management scheme.

Data Networking Mobiles more dangerous than wild elephants By Kieren McCarthy Published Thursday 19th April 2001 15:44 GMT If you hadn't realised yet, mobiles are the modern scourge. God would have sent down a plague of mobiles if Moses were alive today. Great for communication, not so good for survival. Using a mobile phone is as dangerous as drink driving apparently. Driving with hands-free mobiles increases your chance of crashing by four - the same as drunk driving. The research, bizarrely, comes from Australia - where many think nothing of driving for 20 miles while bladdered, mostly because many people live 20 miles away from their nearest pub. There is also the fact that far fewer people on the roads when drunk people are driving i.e. late at night. Then there's the case of the Romanian footballer who got the red card for halting a match because he was due to take a corner but decided to take a call instead. Iulica Traznea may have got away with it as well except that he spent five minutes chatting on the phone trying to sell one of his lambs. His reasoning was that he wasn't paid enough and so he had to have other business interests. Incredible.
