We just completed a three week workshop/retreat at Lewa Downs in northern Kenya. Lewa is a large, privately-owned ranch and wildlife sanctuary owned by the Craig family. Susannah Rouse, AERP's chairman, very generously provided her beautiful new home there for all the Amboseli colleagues to get together to work on a scientific book. Eleven contributors to the book were able to come for periods ranging from two days to the whole three weeks. It was a great success and we got a tremendous amount of work done. 

The participants were:

All of these people have worked or are currently working on the Amboseli Elephant Research Project. We are putting together a book, co-edited by Harvey Croze and myself, which will encompass all the major research that has been carried out on the elephants in Amboseli. To be published by the University of Chicago Press in 2003, the working title is THE AMBOSELI ELEPHANTS: A LONG-TERM PERSPECTIVE ON A LONG-LIVED MAMMAL.
