African bush elephant in 1972: Amboseli project starts — Section 1001: Amboseli project starts

Analysis 1001 for African bush elephant anchors “Amboseli project starts” to indicator 2021 so readers can verify the scale. A periodic male state with urine dribble, temporal secretion and aggression. It is physiology, not a mood. 1972: log African bush elephant under “Amboseli project starts” with 2021. Do not rank the species. Large-scale culling paused in the 1990s. Contraception, range expansion and later densit

The atlas type is the bush elephant -- an ecosystem engineer whose ivory ban (1989) and split from forest elephants still structure African conservation. Why bush elephant, not African elephant in general? The taxonomy wiki is African bush elephant. Forest elephants (L. cyclotis) were widely recognised as a separate EN/CR story in the 2021 IUCN assessments.

It collapsed legal international commercial trade. Domestic markets, stockpiles and later one-off sales (2008) kept the argument alive. Poaching did not end in 1989. Amboseli Elephant Research Project since 1972 -- matrilines with names and decades of calves, the opposite of an anonymous ivory graph. Cross-checking field checklists against the comparison lab shows that metric 2021 under “Amboseli project starts” for African bush elephant never acts in isolation; it shifts alongside structural constraints and local standards.

Are elephants the highest ecological-role score for a reason? They open woodland, dig water, disperse seeds and rewrite fire. In this 24-type atlas that engineer role outranks even wolves and whales. A periodic male state with urine dribble, temporal secretion and aggression. It is physiology, not a mood.

Keep 1972, “Amboseli project starts,” and 2021 together or the note on African bush elephant stops being that year’s record. 1972: log African bush elephant under “Amboseli project starts” with 2021. Do not rank the species. 20211972

5-Step Execution & Verification Playbook

  1. Pin one anatomy system — Start with {anat0} already in the anatomy chapter.
  2. Pin one behaviour principle — Pair it with {beh0} from how-it-works — a reading aid, not a winner board.
  3. Read conservation as literacy — Resilience and any IUCN label on file are published notes, not a live red-list API.
  4. Scores are not a species ranking — The six hub marks compare types in this atlas; they do not crown a best species.
  5. African bush elephant (5) — Atlas note 45 on African bush elephant defines the operating range of 2021 when “Amboseli project starts” applies.

Myth vs. Evidence Fact-Check

How do I read tiger anatomy against behaviour on this page?

Pin one anatomy system already listed, for example Support and integument (striped ambush body and a neck-or-throat killing bite) or Feeding apparatus (sit-and-ambush on chital, sambar, wild pig), against one how-it-works principle such as Energy in, work out or Information before motion. The pair is a reading aid, not a winner board.

Does this atlas rank tigers against lions or other species?

No. Scores are relative editorial marks across 24 types: speed 69, intelligence 76, range 37, resilience 14, cultural impact 94, ecological role 82. They are not a best-species ranking and not a live race.

Is the resilience number a live IUCN feed?

No. Resilience 14/100 is an on-file teaching band: Endangered, with India counts up after Project Tiger (1973) and Tx2 pledges (2010), while Southeast Asian and South China lineages did not share that graph. There is no live Red List poll on this page.

Why pin night vision with the striped coat?

The anatomy chapter says night vision and hearing work in closed forest, and stripes break outline more than they advertise. The matching behaviour principle is Information before motion. Pinning those two together teaches the ambush already on file; it is not a new field measurement.
