From the kings of the Indus Valley to Hannibal's Alpine cavalry,
humans have been living and working with elephants for millennia.
In Giants of the Monsoon Forest, Jacob Shell travels to communities
that still rely on this ancient partnership. After the 2004
tsunami, Indonesian officials deployed trained Sumatran elephants
to clear wreckage. Along the mountainous Indian-Burmese border, the
logging industry employs several thousand elephants. They share
these forests with Kachin rebels, who navigate a secret network of
trails atop elephant mounts. Blending history, science and
reportage, Giants of the Monsoon Forest offers a new perspective on
animal intelligence and reveals an unexpected relationship between
evolution in the natural world and political struggles in the human
one. By working together, fugitive elephants and humans help
preserve the wild spaces they both need to survive.
