Happy #WorldElephantDay! @スミソニアン国立動物園 is taking over our account with photos from scientists working with elephants in Asia and elephant facts.
Scientists at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) study Asian elephants, which are endangered. There are about 30,000 to 50,000 Asian elephants left in the wild—that’s compared to about 500,000 African elephants in the wild.
One issue that our scientists study is human-elephant conflict. Despite coexisting with Asian elephants for thousands of years, dramatic changes in how people interact with land and elephants have caused a significant increase in human-elephant conflict.
SCBI scientists, with local and regional experts, are developing tools for the management and protection of Asian elephants in areas that are threatened by the developments in how land is used. #WeSaveSpecies
