Chairman's report: African Elephant Specialist Group/Rapport des Presidents du GSEA

Abstract

Reviews the November 1992 meeting of the AfESG, which was the first meeting subsequent of the separation of the elephant and rhino speicalist groups, noting the special aerial and ground survey as well as the regional working group sessions and the papers presented. Notes the change of focus in the discussion which at this meeting often dealt with the human/elephant conflict which is arising in place of the elephant survival/poaching pressure which has dominated discussions of most previous meetings.
