This special topic course focuses on the ecology and conservation of the Asian elephant and the habitats in Cambodia and Thailand where extant populations live.

Elephant welfare and management practices will be examined, and the livelihoods of people affected, both positively and negatively, by elephants will be explored. In addition to the work with elephants, students will visit the World Heritage site of Angkor and the capital city of Phnom Penh.
