Episode 498 - Larry Patterson || A Veterinary History Of Elephants In Botswana

  • Resumen

  • Retired Veterinary biologist Larry Patterson joins the podcast to give an insight in the progression and growth of elephants in Botswana. Robbie's introduction to Larry was fortuitous in nature - while Robbie was in a gas station in the town of Maun, in Botswana he saw a book called "Aiming to Save" with a cross-hair on the front of it on an elephant. At first glance, he expected this book to be a book of anti-hunting sentiment to elephants and naturally purchased it. But upon reading it and closer inspection of the front cover - the cross-hair was on the rump of the elephant i.e., where a vet would shoot a dart to tranquilize the elephant. In our latest documentary on Botswana, Robbie picked up a biography of Larry’s life and the work he has done in Botswana for elephants. Larry is not a hunter but shares his views on wildlife management and elephant management issues specifically in Botswana. This is a fascinating insight into Botswana's elephant history and most importantly since Botswana has the largest elephant population in Africa today. Support our newest Conservation Club Members!
