Gajah: Journal of the IUCN/SSC Asian Elephant Specialist Group

Gajah

Gajah is the bi-annual journal of the IUCN/SSC Asian Elephant Specialist Group (AsESG). The journal is intended as a medium of communication on issues that concern the management and conservation of Asian Elephants both in the wild and in captivity. It is a means by which members of the AsESG and others can communicate their experiences, ideas, and perceptions freely, so that the conservation of Asian Elephants can benefit. All articles published in Gajah reflect the individual views of the authors and not necessarily those of the editorial board, the AsESG, the Species Survival Commission, or IUCN.

Gajah is now available in portable document format (PDF), and you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader to view it. If you do not have Acrobat installed, please download it here.

We welcome submissions for future issues of Gajah. If you are interested in submitting an article for publication, please read the Instructions to Contributors. All submissions should be sent to the Editor, Jayantha Jayewardene, at the following email address: romalijj@eureka.lk.
