Do you want to present at the 19th International Elephant Conservation & Research Symposium? The Call for Abstracts is now posted.

This symposium will bring together elephant conservationists and researchers from around the world to present on a diverse range of conservation projects and research outcomes. We are seeking abstracts covering topics related to all species of elephants, EEHV in range countries, human elephant conflict deterrents, policy and land use planning, novel concepts for conservation, veterinary management, disease investigation, reproduction and behavior, conservation activities utilizing elephants in human care, and other issues that impact the long- term survival of elephants.

We look forward to working together to creating another excellent forum for which those working on behalf of elephants can share, learn, and be inspired!
