Wildlife sanctuaries

Acknowledgments Bets and all of us elephant researchers owe a large debt of gratitude to many members of the community of humans who study, care for, and work for the survival of the majestic, magnificent mammals the elephants. She would want us to thank all those she has worked with over the years. While many organizations and institutions have played major roles in her research activities and successes, we are sure she would want especially to thank Riddle s Elephant and Wildlife Sanctuary, the Ringling Center for Elephant Conservation, and the Oregon Zoo.

In addition to providing a valuable sea defence, intertidal sediments offer an important habitat for wildlife, food and recreation. The very nature of intertidal areas has left them relatively undisturbed by human activity compared to inland areas. This coupled with the rich food supply in the muddy sediments means that many intertidal areas are now very important wildlife sanctuaries and nursery grounds for fish and invertebrates (Adam, 1990). Thus, for example, up to 12 million birds of 50 different species live for at least part of the year on the vast shallow water or intertidal muds of the Wadden Sea off the north Dutch and German coast (North Sea Task Force, 1993). Beside these quantifiable environmental roles as wildlife habitats and coastal defences, these intertidal areas have an intrinsic beauty that has always attracted people.
