I love elephants when I was born. I will still love them beause, they are gentle giants. They are grey and they have long trunks. They are living after the diousors.

Aloha: I love elephants and this was a great show. I hope to some day buy the dvd. I am unemployed right now. It made you aware of how wonderful nature is and how wonderful elephants are. Keep up the great work. I love your shows.

Let’s have a conversation about conservation. I LOVE ANIMALS!!! I also LOVE Nature, the movie(s). I am 13 years old, and I am CRAZY about becoming a conservationist when I get older.

I was wondering the same thing, I only caught the last half and fell in love with Echo and her family. I’d like to see it again from the begining.

The Elephant show was very touching. I havde a plan to remove some of the hardship for the desert Elephants. I own two well drillers and would be willing to drill a well in one of the migratory paths that the Elephants use. This well would be a solar well with a production of about 600 to 1000 gallons perday. It could be drilled at about halfway between on their migratory route. This would stop the high mortality rate and would be cheep to mantain. I would be
willing to do this for cost only. I would be gratful for any information as to how to contact this Martyn Colbeck. Only he knows the exact migratory routes well enough. Dave.

I saw the Martyn Colbeck show on elephants last night, and was enthralled! I’ve just spent over an hour trying to find out how to get a book of his amazing photos, or a DVD of the show…. and stumbled into this comment site. It was wonderful to read your various comments … I must side with those that appreciated Colbeck’s comments. Over 15 years, he clearly developed a relationship with Echo and her group, and sharing that with me made me feel connected to the herd in a wonderful way. It also moved me to appreciate the efforts being taken to save these great creatures, and I am now exploring the best way to contribute financially to the cause. (any ideas out there. you guys?)

Thank you to the filmmaker, Nature and the Elephants…a more perfect union could not be had. Hopefully people all over the world will see this film and realize what a precious gift we have in all our animals.

I am pursuing a third degree, a second career and spent the last semester studying elephants in captivity. Any documentary aired on public television must bear in mind who it’s audience is. Appeal to a broad mentality is imperative if we are going to appeal to the masses, intellectually and financially, both being necessary to pursue successfully the resolution of troubling ecological issues. There are many deep-pocketed folks who have never done a literature search, recorded data or even know what the meaning of anthropomorphize is. If we ask Nature to consider only the scientific among us, we exclude the majority and, I believe, do so to our own and the animals’ detriment. It is not my intention to berate anyone here but I must say I have grown weary of the mindset that you cannot place an equal value on feelings while achieving scientific goals. Why must they be mutually exclusive? Why do we have the opinion that feelings diminish the value of science? Why must we worry that the mere mention of emotions will disquality and/or discredit the work of people such as Colbeck?
