Immunocontraception of the female African savanna elephant (Loxodonta africana) in South Africa : from pipe dream to policy [PDF]

Globally, African savanna elephants have been assessed as ‘endangered’. Consequently, additional threats and losses due to human–elephant conflict (HEC) could further exacerbate the species’ decline. In stark contrast, South Africa’s elephant populations
