ElephantVoices on WCN expo in San Francisco 4 October - and in National Geographic meetings this week

Category: 1. General News, Events | Date: Sep 08 2008 | By: elephantvoices

Some of you may be able to visit our table at the World Conservation Networks 2008 wildlife conservation expo Saturday, October 4.  The expo takes place at Mission Bay Conference Center, San Francisco. You’ll find a flyer about the event here. Welcome!

Joyce left this morning for Washington DC, where she Wednesday is going to participate in a panel discussion for National Geographic staff about elephant management and their future.  She will also attend a public lecture on Tuesday - where old friend and colleague Iain Douglas-Hamilton and others will present the story in the September issue of National Geographic Magazine about the Samburu elephants and discuss future prospects of Africa’s majestic elephants. Joyce leaves on the coming Sunday for Sri Lanka, to kick-start our new Minneriya-Kaudulla Elephant Project together with our local partner Manori Gunawardena.

Wow! Quite the busy schedule, indeed. Glad Joyce will have an opportunity to cross paths with Ian Douglas-Hamilton. The NatGeo elephant article on Samburu was fantastic. The video piece on their website was even better. Michael Nichol’s photography captures the very spirit of the animals! I hope we’ll hear some good news from some of these elephant fronts, and updates on elephant protection in and around Zakouma, in Chad. Will there be anyone reporting on the situation for elephants in Zimbabwe? Everything I read about coming out of there seems dire and discouraging, at present. Thanks for keeping the bloggers in your loop.
Best Wishes & Safe Travels!

Thanks for telling us about the EXPO. Planning on being there and to stop by and to say hello. ;-)
Yes, the article was excellent, with photos and all!! Also the article about SA’s decision to allow the culling again, with the pro’s and con’s, is very interesting.
Looking forward to seeing you at the Expo and I really like the ‘new look’ of the blog!!!
