Summary

First released in early 2020, we are re releasing this episode, discussing the importance of research in the Critically Endangered Forest Elephant. In 2020 we caught Dr. Daniella Chusyd fresh from her research and travels in the Congo. Dr. Chusyd was out in the field when the coronavirus pandemic hit and had to hurry back to the United States. She shares with us her experiences in Africa studying Forrest Elephants from deep in the Congo. She gives a fascinating look at her life tracking and studying these mysterious elephants. Dr. Chusyd also explains her journey from her undergraduate studies, to becoming one of the few elephant researchers we have in the world. Her YouTube channel The Elephantologist can be found ⁠HERE⁠ You can support her research in Africa by going ⁠HERE.⁠ Then search for the "Elephant Research Fund" Show notes with some incredible images can be found ⁠HERE =========================================================== Another thank you to all our Patreon supporters.
