International Elephant Foundation Symposium - Nov 2-4, 2007 - Orlando

Many of you already know: The INTERNATIONAL ELEPHANT CONSERVATION and RESEARCH SYMPOSIUM - is taking place in beautiful Orlando, FL on Nov. 2-4, 2007, with a trip to Disney’s Animal Kingdom on November 5.

I would like to take this opportunity to especially encourage circuses that own elephants to send someone to this Symposium. Circuses continue to fight extinction by perpetuating the species in good breeding programs. A lot of science on this subject, tuberculosis issues, etc. (download the schedule, below) will be offered. We don’t often get a chance to go to these conferences but many shows winter in Florida and will be off the road for the season.

The International Elephant Foundation and Feld Entertainment, Inc./the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Center for Elephant Conservation, are pleased to announce that the International Elephant Research Symposium will be November 2-4, 2007, in Orlando, Florida. Additional support for the Symposium will be provided by Disney's Animal Kingdom and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

This important symposium will concentrate on the research and conservation needs of captive and wild populations of elephants. We invite researchers from around the world to present conservation projects and research results on human-elephant conflict, population management, health, nutrition, reproduction and behavior.
