Powerful, award-winning nature films like ‘The Elephant Queen’, made by filmmakers Mark Deeble, Victoria Stone and Etienne Oliff, have the potential to reshape attitudes and garner support for elephants in rural communities, according to a new study.

The tusks of African elephants (Loxodonta africana) have evolved as intra-sexual combat weapons, as well as tools for feeding and digging.
The drivers of social affiliation may vary over time as individuals change their goals with respect to changing environments or physical condition.
Illegal wildlife trade has reached alarming levels globally, extirpating populations of commercially valuable species.
Social structure is proposed to influence the transmission of both directly and environmentally transmitted infectious agents.
The expansion of global communication networks and advances in animal tracking technology make possible the real-time telemetry of positional data as recorded by animal-attached tracking units.
We present a new animal space-use model (Elliptical Time-Density - ETD) that uses discrete-time tracking data collected in wildlife movement studies.
The Chinese ivory industry has been expanding tremendously, especially in the last five years. Illegal ivory imports are the largest in the world by weight and have been soaring.
This study investigates the ranging behavior of elephants in relation to precipitation-driven dynamics of vegetation.
The impacts of increasing resource extraction on biodiversity in the Central African rainforest are largely unknown, in part due to the lack of baseline data on species occurrence across the basin.
Individual identification of the relatively cryptic forest elephant (Loxodonta cyclotis) at forest clearings currently provides the highest quality monitoring data on this ecologically important but increasingly threatened species.
Natural forest clearings (bais) in the Central African rain forest attract large numbers of mammals. Little is known about the factors influencing bai use by forest species, though geophagy and hydro-mineral resources are assumed to be important attractan
