  • The Demography and Life History Strategies of Timber Elephants in Myanmar
    THE DEMOGRAPHY AND LIFE HISTORY STRATEGIES OF TIMBER ELEPHANTS IN MYANMAR by Khyne U Mar Thesis submitted to the University College London for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy July, 2007 1 ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This study could not have been carried out without the support of the following funding agencies and persons. The International Foundation for Science, Sweden (IFS grant B/2295-1) provides financial support to conduct the Myanmar elephant studbook project. Special thanks to Prospect Burma Foundation (UK) for continuous support for both Masters of Science and PhD studies at the University of London. Charles Wallace Burma Trust (UK), Three Oaks Foundation (Canada), Whitley-Laing Foundation (The Rufford Small Grants for Nature Conservation, UK), Toyota Foundation (Japan), Fantham Memorial Research Scholarship in Zoology, Department of Biology, University College London and Wildlife Conservation Society (USA) Field Veterinary Program provide significant funding that contribute towards my research, overseas travel and tuition fees. My profound gratitude goes to Professor Dr. Adrian M Lister, Department of Biology, University College London, for his unfailing support, constructive comments and valuable suggestions on the preparation of this thesis. My thanks go to Professor Georgina Mace (Director of Science, Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London) for supervision and guidance. An ordinary “appreciation” for my direct advisor, Dr. Marcus Rowcliffe, Institute of Zoology, Zoological Society of London, is entirely inadequate to express how grateful I am for his guidance, unending patience of teaching me statistics (sometimes up to six times), attention to detail in editing my “Burmese” English to “British” English and constant encouragement during my days in the Institute of Zoology.

  • Circulating Elephants: Unpacking the Geographies of a Cosmopolitan Animal
    Circulating elephants: unpacking the geographies of a cosmopolitan animal Maan Barua Cosmopolitanism has emerged as an important concept in geography and the social sciences. The rise of mobility, circulation and transnational networks has been paralleled by academic scholarship on un-parochial others: diasporas, travellers and itinerant social groups. However, the role of nonhumans as participants in and subjects of cosmopolitanism has received scant attention. This paper seeks to develop a ‘more-than-human’ cosmopolitanism that accounts for the presence of nonhuman animals and entities in stories of circulation and contact. Through a multi-sited ethnography of elephant conservation in India and the UK, the paper illustrates how animals become participants in forging connections across difference. Through their circulation, elephants become cosmopolitan, present in diverse cultures and serving banal global consumption. The paper then illustrates how cosmopolitan elephants may be coercive, giving rise to political frictions and new inequalities when mobilised by powerful, transnational environmental actors. It concludes by discussing the methodological and conceptual implications of a more-than-human cosmopolitanism. Key words Asian elephant; conservation; cosmopolitan; cultural geography; India; more-than-human geography School of Geography and the Environment, University of Oxford, Oxford OX1 3QY Email: [email protected] Revised manuscript received 9 August 2013 — Elephants are contagious Paul Eluard (Peret et al. 2004, 173)
