El Grupo de Especialistas en Elefantes Africanos (AfESG) de la CSE de la UICN es una red mundial de m谩s de 95 expertos t茅cnicos dedicados a promover la conservaci贸n a largo plazo de las dos especies de elefantes de 脕frica, el elefante africano de bosque (Loxodonta cyclotis), en peligro cr铆tico, y el elefante africano de sabana (Loxodonta africana), en peligro, en toda su 谩rea de distribuci贸n. Ambas especies han ido disminuyendo a nivel continental debido a la caza furtiva por sus colmillos de marfil, la degradaci贸n del h谩bitat, las complejidades de los cambios en el uso de la tierra que conducen a desaf铆os en la coexistencia del elefante humano. Sin embargo, estas dos especies clave proporcionan beneficios ecol贸gicos inestimables para los paisajes forestales y de pastizales que habitan, incluida la dispersi贸n de semillas, el mantenimiento de mosaicos de sabana y bosque, la disponibilidad de agua subterr谩nea y el secuestro de carbono (por ejemplo, Berzaghi et al 2019), as铆 como beneficios socioecon贸micos en algunos casos. Como tal, su conservaci贸n es m谩s cr铆tica que nunca, pero tambi茅n compleja dada la significativa variaci贸n regional en el n煤mero de elefantes, la gesti贸n, las amenazas y los beneficios.

Dr Benson Okita OUMA
Co-Chair
Dr. Benson Okita-Ouma, MBS, has been the Director of the Wyss Academy for Nature East Africa Hub since April 2022, where he leads a team working towards "creating a new relationship with nature" (Wyss Academy). He has co-chaired the 香港六合彩开奖结果现场直播 SSC African Elephants Specialist Group since 2018, leading 95 expert scientists dedicated to conserving African elephants and their habitats. With over 24 years of experience, he has specialized in protecting Africa's black rhinos and African elephants. He has held leadership and senior scientific roles in governmental, non-governmental, and inter-governmental organizations. His current projects aim to bridge conservation, development, and livelihoods. Notably, he led a study to evaluate the effectiveness of wildlife crossing structures along the Mombasa-Nairobi Standard Gauge Railway through Tsavo National Parks. He is a key figure in implementing Kenya's Vision 2030 wildlife corridors and dispersal areas report, having co-authored several significant national conservation policy documents. He holds a Doctorate in mega species conservation from Wageningen University and has received the Moran of the Order of the Burning Spear (MBS) for distinguished service to the nation.

Prof Robert SLOTOW
Co-Chair
Rob Slotow is Professor at University of Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa. Rob focuses on applied research that can be translated into practical solutions, working on conservation of large mammals, biogeography of invertebrates, land-use planning for environmental sustainability, and environmental contribution to achieving SDGs. He leads large, transdisciplinary projects, including the Durban Research Action Partnership, with Ethekwini Municipality (DRAP), and the Wellcome funded Sustainable and Healthy Food Systems project (SHEFS). DRAP undertakes co-developed, co-implemented work to enhance sustainable environmental decision-making and development decisions in the face of climate change. SHEFS examines the agriculture, environment, poverty and health nexus, focusing on resource poor communities in the rural, per-urban, and informal urban settings around Durban and Pietermaritzburg.
