An EconoTimes perspective

Senior Lecturer in Comparative and Evolutionary Psychology, University of Portsmouth I study animal behaviour, and am particularly interested in understanding the social skills and intelligence of large mammals. Most of my research is about African savannah elephants and, with my international collaborators, I’m investigating how best to conserve and manage elephant populations. I try to use my knowledge of elephant behaviour to encourage sustainable, fair and effective conservation practices.
