new publication: Conservation status of Asian elephants

April 27, 2017

Our new publication about the drivers of Asian elephant (Elephas maximus) abundance and distribution has been published in Biodiversity and Conservation. The influence of habitat- and governance-related drivers on elephant abundance across the 13 Asian elephant range countries has been analysed. Competing statistical models by integrating a binary index of elephant abundance (IEA) derived from expert knowledge with different predictor variables including habitat, human population, socioeconomics, and governance data were tested.

Walk through any city and you pick up on things that are hard to put a number on. The noise of a main road, the heat that sits between buildings in summer, the question of whether that little park around the corner is really enough green space for the whole...
