Ivory is big business, and in some parts of Africa elephants have
been hunted almost to extinction in the quest for it. The losses to
African economies have been catastrophic. Now there is an
international ban on the trade and conservation is. the principal
goal. This should be a matter for rejoicing, but nothing is quite
so simple. The authors of this book have looked at the overall
statistics, including those for countries where the elephant
population is stable. They have considered the multiplicity of
economic and social functions fulfilled by ensuring that elephant
herds survive, tourism, a variety of ecological purpose. and,
finally, as a source of ivory. They show how the careful management
of elephants as a resource can best serve African interests. This
book is at the cutting edge of economic thinking and provides a
model for the consideration of the difficult relationship between
people and wildlife. Originally published in 19990
