In the process of this scientific research, the author has spent more than a decade observing elephants in Rajaji National Park, the Indian state of Uttarakhand. The behaviour documented in this book reflects the changing habitat and ecosystem, raising questions and offering new observations important for new management techniques needed to address conservation challenges for wildlife in India.
