The listservs provide comprehensive, up-to-date news on elephant research and conservation, and alert their audiences to a wide variety of scientific papers, web sites and workshops concerning elephants. This information helps managers, NGOs, and donors to draw up plans and policies for elephant conservation in the light of available knowledge gleaned from the electronic news media.
For 2006, tasks will include:
- Daily locate breaking news stories on African elephants and Asian elephants from a variety of worldwide news sources.
- Regularly send around abstracts and citations of all new scientific papers pertaining to elephants; make available in full upon request from listserv members.
- Notify subscribers of upcoming conferences on elephants and new online resources.
