Africa’s elephants have been in dramatic decline for 50 years. A new study explores what can be done to save them.
From @ConversationUS: The research "put together data from 1,325 surveys of elephant populations — everything we could find — to evaluate how elephant numbers in Africa have changed."

Africa’s savanna #elephants declined by 70% and forest elephants by over 90% between 1964 and 2016. Though their decline was known, its full scale and regional impact were unclear until now. A #biology professor explains: https://buff.ly/CILyJpC

A young elephant gives itself a good belly rub on plants growing out of a termite mound while other elephants graze in the background. The young elephant looks ecstatic! Photographed in the Masai Mara in Kenya.

Once again.
I'm huge #discworld fan. I re-read/listen everything from #sirterrypratchett once a year. So when it was time to decide a graduation work subject back in #ceramic studies.. I didn't need to think long.
So here's my big Discworld #sculpure. All is there, #a'tuin #elephants and the #disc.
Mostly made by #clay but the sea is melted plastic.
I did take some #artistic freedom with elephants.
This is the only one left of four Discworld #art pieces I've made, that I have permission to sell.
Once the epicenter for deadly human-elephant conflict, an eastern Nepal village along the Indian border has transformed into a model of coexistence.
Villagers, once fearful, have adopted elephant-resistant crops and beekeeping, and through a rapid response team, they safely guide elephants away.

#romaingary met en scène Morel, ancien déporté politique, à travers les témoignages d'une galerie de personnages, dans son combat pour la préservation des #éléphants . Cela illustre la complexité et la diversité des points de vue sur la question écologique. Pour Gary, la préservation des espèces est une question de #dignité humaine, un moyen pour l'homme d'échapper à son mauvais fond, de retrouver de l'honneur. Un roman dense et brillant.
