Invitation

Charlie Gray

We invite our distinguished colleagues to beautiful Thailand for the 2008 International Elephant Conservation and Research Symposium. This important 3-day symposium will concentrate on the research and conservation needs of captive and wild populations of elephants worldwide. The human population is multiplying at an astounding rate creating the need for more land and resources while the elephant populations shrink away. Our wildlife and resources must be actively managed for there to be a hope for survival of elephants and their natural habitats. There is not one solution that fits every situation; a wide variety and combination of ideas are needed. We encourage you to join us and share your experiences as well as develop and broaden relationships with those in the elephant conservation community.

     The International Foundation (IEF) joint venture with Post-Graduate Foundation in Veterinary Science of Mahidol University (PGF-VSMU) has scheduled an International Elephant Conservation and Research Symposium on 11-13 November 2008
     This most awaited activity is to be held first time in the beautiful East side of Thailand, Nong-nooch Tropical Garden and Resort, Pattaya where there are amusing elephant performances and admirable Thai hospitality.
     To make this event more memorable, a post-conference tour is arranged for the attendees to watch the Annual Surin Elephant Festival 2008, which is the most popular and most visited festival of the country.
     I am pleased and honored to invite all veterinarians, researchers, conservationists, and elephant enthusiasts to come and join us in this exciting, refreshing and well-prepared event. We will assure you of an educational and fascinating meeting plus a chance to explore my beautiful country, Thailand.

Thank you sponsors
