However, there cannot be said to be any connection between that historical fact and the present study, as the intervening century has seen little active interest in Gabon on the part of American ornithologists. Even the early interest in Gabon at the Philadelphia institution was not due to any advance planning on the part of the Academy.

Mills Street Madison, WI 53706 [email protected] A Report to the African Elephant Specialist , Human-Elephant Task Conflict Task Force, of IUCN, Glands, Switzerland. December 1999 Acknowledgments: Several individuals and organizations provided support: In Cameroon, Robert Rose’s fieldwork was funded by the Wildlife Conservation Society, through a grant by Dutch Foreign Aid. The Cameroon case study was aided greatly by the expertise of WCS field staff, particularly Anthony Nchanji, Roger Fotso, and Bryan Curran. Walters Arrey was responsible for monitoring crop damage during July-October 1999. In Uganda, Lisa Naughton and Adrian Treves’ fieldwork was funded by the Wildlife Conservation Society, National Geographic, Makerere University Biological Field Station, NSF, and Fulbright-Hays. Pascal Baguma and Patrick Katuramu provided first-rate assistance with data collection and interviews around Kibale National Park. Patrick Ilukol and Erica Cochrane generously shared their knowledge of elephant movement and raiding behavior at Kibale. In Madison, Karen Archabald provided comments on draft excerpts of this report. Erin Olson- Dedjoe and Nora Alvarez helped with data entry. Finally, Richard Hoare deserves special thanks for his expert counsel and assistance throughout the study. 2 Table of Contents Acknowledgements…………………………………………………………………………………….2 Table of Contents………………………………………………………………………………………3 List of Tables and Figures……………………………………………………………………………...4 I.

  • Toward an Integrated Assessment of Farmer-Elephant Conflict in Gabon
    Moving Away From Prescriptive Pachyderm Palliatives: Toward an Integrated Assessment of Farmer­Elephant Conflict in Gabon by Kendra L. Walker A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Natural Resources and Environment) in The University of Michigan 2010 Doctoral Committee: Professor Bobbi S. Low, chair Professor Arun Agrawal Professor Donald Scavia Professor Carl P. Simon © Kendra L. Walker 2010 Dedication For my parents, Don and Trudi For providing me a solid foundation, inspiration, and unwavering support of my dreams And to Miguel, for his patience ii Acknowledgements I would like to extend my deepest thanks to the many people have helped this dissertation become a reality: to my family, for always encouraging my dreams and journeys even though they all too often take me so far away, and to my committee for guiding me through this leg of the journey. I am truly lucky to have such motivating mentors. I could not have asked for a more attentive and inspirational committee chair than Bobbi Low, who truly goes above and beyond as an advisor and role model. Arun Agrawal, Don Scavia, and Carl Simon have all provided engaging perspectives, wise advice and great interdisciplinary discussions. Many others at the University of Michigan have provided additional feedback and inspiration. I especially thank Brady West and Kathy Welch at the Center for Statistical Consultation and Research for invaluable statistical advice and Michael Moore and Rebecca Hardin for insightful feedback on early versions of parts of this work. I received financial support for this research from a Fulbright Fellowship with the U.S.
