Elephas Maximus
The Biology and Conservation of the Asian Elephant
Filmed on location in Sri Lanka, this is the story of Elephas maximus, the magnificent Asian Elephant. It is the story of this animal’s dependence on plants and on the land that supports them.
The Asian Elephant faces many challenges. But people everywhere are beginning to show a willingness to preserve wild spaces for elephants.
Our message is, if we all work together, the future will be one in which our own grandchildren will share the planet with future generations of these wonderful elephants.
