A New Paper Co-Authored By A Team Of International..

A new paper co-authored by a team of international researchers including WWF-Malaysia has found that the majority of Asian elephants prefer slightly disturbed forests and areas of regrowth. This preference is thought to be related to food habits as elephants favour grasses, bamboo, palms and fast-growing trees, which are found in disturbed environments.

This does not diminish the importance of protected areas, but rather highlights the need for the promotion of human-elephant coexistence around protected areas. Find out more in the published paper 👉 https://besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/1365-2664.14286
