ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS<br />
The idea for this little book came from IFAW<br />
colleagues working on elephants and the ivory<br />
trade. They contributed to the original outline,<br />
most of which still survives as the Table of<br />
Contents.<br />
A number of colleagues reviewed and<br />
provided comments on earlier drafts, either of<br />
individual chapters, or the entire manuscript.<br />
They include: Kelvin Alie, Jason Bell, Gay<br />
Bradshaw and Steve Njumbi, all of whom also<br />
made individual contributions to one or more<br />
chapters. Other reviewers of one or more<br />
chapters include: Jan Hannah, Grace Gabriel,<br />
Barry Kent Mackay, Vassili Papastavrou, Céline<br />
Sissler-Bienvenu and Sue Wallace. Vivek<br />
Menon provided a useful suggestion that was<br />
incorporated into the text.<br />
Kati Radziszewska located and downloaded<br />
a number of the source documents in a<br />
timely fashion. Sue Wallace prepared Figure<br />
3 and proof-read various drafts of the entire<br />
manuscript.<br />
Opinions expressed in this document are<br />
those of the contributors and may not reflect<br />
precisely the current institutional positions<br />
of IFAW or, necessarily, the views of individual<br />
reviewers. Any remaining factual errors are the<br />
responsibility of the editor.<br />
