Mali Elephant Project Partners
Thank you to our project partners:
- DNEF – Direction Nationale des Eaux et Forest – National Direction for Waters and Forests
- Project pour la conservation et valorisation de la biodiversite du Gourma et les elephants | Project for the conservation and valuing of the biodiversity of the Gourma and the elephants
Our first field team was joined for 6 weeks by professional photographer Carlton Ward, who was invaluable in assisting with the elephant identification aspects of the project. Carlton is also creating a photographic library of the elephants and the local people – a few of his images appear here. They also appeared as the cover story for the July 2005 Smithsonian magazine and in the July 2007 issue of Africa Geographic.
