Team Elephant, Juu!

Four USA conservationists – Marty Anthony, Penny Kulp, Stuart Hutchinson and Teddy Rouse – each contributed or raised one dollar for every foot of Kilimanjaro for the African Elephant Conservation Trust (AECT). The adventure had begun over a year ago, when Susannah Rouse, AECT Chairperson, conceived the dedicated climb to generate resources for the newly-founded trust.

Heroes for the planet – Cynthia Moss

Kenya's Elephant Team
You Might Not Buy Ivory If You Saw This Family
BY SIMON ROBINSON | AMBOSELI

Parked on a grassy bank in her 15-year-old, blue-green Land Rover, elephant researcher Cynthia Moss peers through her binoculars at a group of females and calves 200 ft. in front of us. It is late afternoon, and Moss and I have driven from her camp in Kenya's Amboseli National Park to the eastern edge of nearby Longinye swamp. Our job: to count and identify the elephants as observers in an airplane estimate numbers from above. Behind us, across the border in Tanzania, looms the hulking mass of Africa's highest peak, Mount Kilimanjaro, its snow-capped dome giving way to gently sloping flanks that shimmer blue in the dying light. Crumpled along the horizon to the west and east are distant smaller mountains: Chyulu, Ol Dionyo Orok and Longido. To the north is nothing but huge sky and endless plain.

November 1, 1999
By Marge Mueller
(abridged and edited)

Full of glee and mirth pachyderms trumpet, rumble and intertwine trunks. Viscous tears stream down temporal glands as they back into each other rubbing sides in pure elephantine joy. For on this night Echo, the matriarch, has given birth.

There it is!

In sea of mammoth gray legs a wide-eyed wobbly calf emerges, still slippery from birth's fluids. Anxious hyenas call under the bright African moon.

Lewa Retreat

9/8/2000; Cynthia Moss 

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.
