Muddy Waters: Humans and Elephants Part II
Sunday May 02, 2021
Sunday May 02, 2021
Welcome back everyone. This week is Part 2 of my interview with geographer Dr. Jacob Shell. He specializes in human transportation networks that rely on animals. His book, Giants of the Monsoon forest: Living and Working with Elephants, is a thought provoking read. If you haven’t heard part one, please do listen as that’s where we talk about the history of humans using elephants, talk about why Asian elephants are still used while African elephants are not, and where he describes how new elephants are captured. We left off on the cusp of talking about how continued use of elephants helps with conservation. In this episode we shift toward exploring how the humans and elephants interact in modern Myanmar and what this means for the future of the Asian elephant.
Dr. Jacob Shell is a professor of geography and urban studies at Temple University. He writes about transport animals, maps, and transient landscapes.
