Projects, ideas and organizations in conservation, travel and development in Africa. Join the adventure. Following advice from one of my oldest and best friends, Selina Stanfield, who works for the company Big Bang Strategy. Which assists companies in branding or re-branding themselves to truly portray their identity, I am putting up a short list of organizations who are doing important work on the ground in order to combat wildlife poaching. Not everything is depressing! Links to this post. In addition,...

The Elephant Blog: Zoos
http://thebawbselephantblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/zoos.html
Thursday, 14 March 2013. Elephants kept in zoos is problematic. In the wild, they travel as much as 48 kilometers a day. Zoos cannot recreate that space. Zoos sell different elephants to one another, causing riffs in the established social groups. This adds more stress to these already stressed animals. There are even instances where zoos have a solitary elephant living a lonely life for a naturally very social animal. An excellent example is relatively local to me. At the Edmonton Valley Zoo. The manipu...

Naledi: A Baby Elephant's Tale. Mind of a Giant. Naledi: A Baby Elephant's Tale. Mind of a Giant. Satao - The Death of a Great Tusker. In June 2014, poachers killed Satao, a great tusker. That was one of the oldest and largest elephants in Africa. The Great Elephant Census film crew was fortunate to capture footage with the help of local filmmakers during our Tsavo National Park. Several groups helped us with this video, including the Tsavo Trust. The Kenya Wildlife Service. Can We Count on You? Works in...

Thoughts of an aspiring biologist. November 20, 2013. CanSAR – a free, public cancer focused knowledgebase. Back in June, I posted a blog discussing DNA patenting and my views that science should involve openly shared information in order to research cancer fully, and my worry that companies are caring more about their profits than the wellbeing of patients. October 17, 2013. Adverts undermined by popcorn. According to a recent study, eating popcorn at the cinema makes the advertising less effective.

The Elephant Blog: Life Cycles
http://thebawbselephantblog.blogspot.com/2013/03/life-cycles.html
Wednesday, 6 March 2013. For the first 3 to 5 years of an elephants' life, he or she is completely dependent on their mother. Babies are blind at birth and need their trunks and mothers to help them navigate. Period lasts 5-10 years, until the calf is completely weaned from their mothers' milk. Often young cows(female elephants) will act as babysitters, learning to care for the babies, to ready herself for her adult life. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Thoughts of an aspiring biologist. October 17, 2013. Adverts undermined by popcorn. According to a recent study, eating popcorn at the cinema makes the advertising less effective. When you view a brand name, you remember it by simulating the pronunciation of it with your mouth, but this is disrupted by chewing. This impact doesn’t only apply to cinema adverts either, as another study has showed that chewing gum impairs people’s ability to recall lists in a specific order. October 11, 2013. As the decay r...
