This book draws together, for the first time, the published
research on the behaviour, ecology and welfare of elephants living
in zoos, circuses, logging camps and other captive environments in
a single comprehensive volume. It takes a multi-disciplinary
approach, considering the work of zoo biologists, animal behaviour
and welfare scientists, veterinarians, philosophers, zoo educators,
tourism specialists, conservation biologists, lawyers and others
with a professional interest in elephants. Elephants under Human
Care: The Behaviour, Ecology, and Welfare of Elephants in Captivity
is a valuable resource for zoo biology and animal welfare
researchers. It is also useful for students and zoo professionals
and managers looking for a comprehensive guide to current research
on captive elephants. Although not intended as a husbandry manual,
the book discusses some of the elephant welfare standards developed
by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) and the British and
Irish Association of Zoos and Aquariums (BIAZA) and their
relationship to current knowledge of captive elephants.
