The Ceylon elephant is in serious danger, due largely to the spread of cultivation in the island bringing destruction of its habitat and interruption of the migration routes. As an essential preliminary to devising ways of protecting the elephants, the Smithsonian Institution and the World Wildlife Fund have sponsored a field survey. Dr Kurt is one of the team of zoologists who started work in April 1967, and for whom the FPS/WWF Revolving Fund last year supplied a much needed Land Rover.
