Elephants In Bloom: Wildlife Photography You’ll Never Forget… Without a doubt one of the greatest photographers of our time; each and every one of Steve Bloom’s portraits embody the vivacity of nature with such an intense, yet intimate manner as to almost leaves you breathless. With the inaugural World Elephant Day just a few days ago (on August 12th), if you ever needed a reminder of just how admirably amazing these brobdignagian beasts are and why it’s important now more than ever to support the calls for their increased protection, then this, most definitely, should be it…   Elephants are silent.  They tread softly, like burglars in the night; they then assail our nostrils with their earthy, musty odour.  Iron-willed and purposeful, elephants march with the quietness and single-minded  determination of an army of ants.  They are true kings of the jungle.                                         - Steve Bloom

Elephants In Bloom: Wildlife Photography You’ll Never Forget…

Without a doubt one of the greatest photographers of our time; each and every one of Steve Bloom’s portraits embody the vivacity of nature with such an intense, yet intimate manner as to almost leaves you breathless. With the inaugural World Elephant Day just a few days ago (on August 12th), if you ever needed a reminder of just how admirably amazing these brobdignagian beasts are and why it’s important now more than ever to support the calls for their increased protection, then this, most definitely, should be it…  

Elephants are silent. 

They tread softly, like burglars in the night;

they then assail our nostrils with their earthy, musty odour. 

Iron-willed and purposeful, elephants march

with the quietness and single-minded 

determination of an army of ants. 

They are true kings of the jungle.

Night-lit Nellies: Forest Elephant Thermography… Since 1999, the Elephant Listening Project has been implementing the use of acoustics to study and aid in the conservation of elephants in the rainforests of central Africa. Linked with the Bioacoustics Research Program (BRP) at the Cornell Lab of Ornithology in Ithaca, New York, they have multiple ongoing programs in Gabon, Central African Republic, and Congo. Animals in rainforests present a special challenge for conservationists because they are difficult to monitor. However, if the species uses sound to communicate, acoustic monitoring may be an effective tool for estimating abundance and population trends over time. Luckily for the elephants, they are just such a species. Elephants rely heavily on acoustic communication for their social interactions and to coordinate family movements and so can be heard even when they can’t be seen. Using specialist microphone equipment, the group are able to pick up elephant’s infrasonic calls over large distances and collect data with virtually nil disturbance to the animals. As if this unique method of data collection wasn’t enough for them, they’ve now added thermography, or thermal imaging, to their research tools arsenal. As many more elephants enter forest clearings by night than by day, the use of thermal images better enables the researchers to link elephant vocal communications with their behaviour during these night time antics. Pretty cool, huh. Or, erm, hot, y’know, depending on the temperature…
