	The elephant situation in Thailand and a plea for co-operation - Roger Lohanan
		Judging from the number of elephants sighted and the number of elephants killed or found dead between 1991 and 1999, there should be less than 1 000 elephants in the nation's forests.
		This is to prevent fraudulent claims that parts are derived from domesticated elephants in and outside of the country.
		Domesticated elephants are accused of damaging the forests and polluting the streams.

	ScienceMaster - JumpStart - Elephant
		The word "elephant" comes from the Greek word elephas, meaning ivory, in reference to the animal's prominent tusks, which are actually elongated incisor teeth.
		In addition, elephants are protected under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), an agreement among more than 120 nations to eliminate illegal trade in animals and plants, such as elephants, and their parts and associated products.
		Asian elephants differ in appearance from their African relatives by having smaller ears, smaller tusks (the female's are almost non-existent), two humps on the forehead, and an arched back.

		The elephant first appears in a resting position on a 'side view' where the elephant head is on the right of the viewer/user.
		The parts included: the body, the tail, the neck, the head, the ears, 4 legs (which will have an upper leg, lower leg, and foot), and a trunk (which will be split into sections to allow for a curling animation).
		Parts of the code that I tried to use glutPostRedisplay() and glutIdleFunc(), along with the loops to try for smooth transition animation are commented out.

	AMNH - Expedition : Endangered
		Elephant ivory (as well as other elephant body parts) was one of the earliest and most valuable trade items in human civilization; ivory has been called the diamond of ancient times.
		Elephant social structure is organized around long-term relationships between related females (mothers, daughters, sisters).
		Barriers have been devised that keep elephants out of agricultural areas, but increasingly the elephants are being divided into "pocketed herds" -- small groups trapped in tiny patches of forest surrounded by cultivated land.

	CITES History
		The Asian elephant is quickly slipping into extinction with the majority of males killed off for their ivory; without the aid of caring individuals there may only be one species of Proboscideans left roaming the earth in a few short years.
		Hence, if the elephants are not killed off for their ivory first, the encroachment of the human population into the elephants land is most likely going to be the number one threat for their survival in the 21st century.
		Due to their status as a super keystone species it means keeping elephants means keeping the whole environment working; this includes spreading of seeds, support for a wide variety of wildlife, and much more.

	TechnoFILE Reviews "Elephant Parts" on DVD
		Michael Nesmith's "Elephant Parts" was billed as the first made-for-home-video production and when it was first released in 1981 it was definitely innovative and state-of-the-art.
		Elephant Parts is an hour-long (well, 62 minutes) collection of skits and music videos starring, executive produced and co-written by former Monkee Michael Nesmith, the guy who wore the woolen toque and who was arguably the most talented musician of that 1960's TV-created quartet.
		I didn't really care about the extras, though; I was a fan of Elephant Parts from its first release, and found the DVD like a visit with an old friend.

		To answer the previous question, "El Dorado To The Moon" was part of the short-lived "Television Parts" NBC series (inspired by this project).
		ELEPHANT PARTS was truly ahead of the times.

		Pro-trade nations generally did not suffer such catastrophic elephant losses as did their neighbors, and they argue that they should not be penalized for population declines or management problems elsewhere.
		Elephant safari hunting, now legal in some countries including Zimbabwe, is a primary means for raising funds for people and conservation, say trade proponents, who argue that a carefully controlled hunt can be carried out in ways consistent with good management principles.
		Their solution: shoot problem elephants to protect life and property or systematically cull them where they are overcrowded.

		They each, in turn, described to the other the part of the elephant they were touching.
		Not just an elephant in his natural environment but an elephant and how he relates to the different aspects of his natural environment, the creation and history of the elephant, uses of elephants in different cultures, common uses, environments of elephants today, etc.
		It would be like a Christian studing the Bible as separate parts and verses, which isn't so bad in itself but if the Christian never sees how the parts fit into the whole then he will likely take a portion of scripture out of context and misinterpret or misuse it.

	Monsters At Play: Elephant Parts Review
		Each man is lead to a part of the elephant, and after touching a leg, ear or trunk, each man comes away with a different perspective about the same animal.
		A combination of comedy, parody and music video, ELEPHANT PARTS is the father of MTV and, in fact, all music videos.
		Since ELEPHANT PARTS was originally produced for TV, the DVD is full frame, but the picture image is excellent.

		The shipment is reported to have contained 22 legs, 8 tusks, 3 tails, a skull and a complete elephant hide, along with skulls and hides from a species of endangered antelope.
		All cross-border trade in elephant products requires proper documentation, which was absent in the Amsterdam seizure.

	GreenCine \| product main - Elephant Parts (1981)
		Former Monkee Mike Nesmith, a pioneer in the music video industry, created the one-hour music and comedy pastiche Elephant Parts--the title derives from the old fable of the six blind men and the elephant.
		Nesmith tried to transfer the insouciance of Elephant Parts to television, but the ensuing Television Parts failed.
		That was all due to Michael Nesmith and "Elephant Parts." Watching this will remind you how far music videos have come (and how far they haven't, too).

	VideoTropic Reviews: Elephant Parts (Special Edition)
		Many of the pieces that were once hilarious and innovative have -- by repetition in lesser works and by the passage of time -- become dated and stale, in much the same way that the once-groundbreaking videos appear primitive to today's audiences.
		Yes, many of the segments retain their original power (notably "Bitty Soda," "Neighborhood Nukes," and "Mariachi Trans Later," to name a few), but unless your viewing experience is pharmaceutically enhanced then the piece must be placed in its historical context to be fully appreciated.
		With that said, however, "Elephant Parts" is a must-see -- especially for fans of the music-video format, and those too young to remember when MTV actually was Music Television.

		They would warmly welcome car parts that can simply be composted rather than putting into landfill.
		Short lengths of the elephant grass are used to give strength to biodegradable plastics that were previously too weak to be used in many car parts.

	10/18/2002 Press Release -- Lawmakers Oppose Ivory Trade, Urge Adoption of Convention on Trade in Endangered Species
		As you are well aware, in the years prior to the placement of the African elephant on Appendix I of CITES in 1989, the illegal slaughter of elephants was occurring at such a high rate that the continent-wide population was cut from 1.3 million to approximately 600,000.
		Many elephant range States have reported that elephant poaching and illegal ivory trade have increased, old illegal ivory trade routes have reopened, and that the fl market price for ivory has risen.
		Yet despite the fact that the majority of elephant range states in Africa and Asia support maintaining the global ivory trade ban, a small minority of Southern African countries, including Botswana, Namibia, South Africa, Zambia, and Zimbabwe, are now requesting commercial ivory trade.

		These days a concert clip passes for a "video" of a song, and very few artists take the time and trouble to make a video that is in itself a piece of art, further developing and enrichening the song it is showcasing.
		Michael Nesmith stood at the forecastle of the video ship, sailing her into port with the production of this comedy album/collection of video clips, "Elephant Parts." Yes, some of the comedy is a little dated; some of it is just plain silly.
		"Elephant Parts" went on to become a short-lived NBC series called "Television Parts," which would give some early television exposure to such luminaries as Jerry Seinfeld, Jay Leno, Whoopi Goldberg, and Garry Shandling.

		Poaching and illegal trade in elephant parts and products remain a continent-wide problem, taxing wildlife law enforcement agencies who spend significant sums and risk individual warden’s lives to protect their elephants.

		With the release of full-length number 3 ELEPHANT PARTS, the band enjoys a level of underground acclaim that has seen their music spread from college radio charts and MTV show soundtracks to cover band playlists in England and Ireland.
		True to form, ELEPHANT PARTS extends the band's walk on the wobbly line of a beer-swilling trio with a love for instrumentals, poppy two-minute songs and the tight arrangements that make them a great live band.
		With guest appearances by Knoxville musicians Mic Harrison (Superdrag, V-Roys) and Tim Lee (Windbreakers) adding some nice touches to the lineup, ELEPHANT PARTS is a must-have album for fans of indie rock and power pop.
