Each group of five kids has a newspaper sheet. When the music stops, the children rush to stand on their sheet. The first time, there’s room for all. As music starts and stops, though, the teacher makes the newspaper sheet smaller and smaller. Eventually, five pairs of feet can no longer fit on the sheet. Some of the children climb on their partners, cramming their bodies together before tumbling to the ground laughing.Elephants can cooperate with one another by pulling simultaneously on both ends of the rope to gather food from a platform. Joshua Plotnik has sought to incorporate such results into education and conservation efforts. Image courtesy of Joshua Plotnik.The children are having a great time. But this game of “losing space” also has a serious message. With human populations growing and wildlife habitat shrinking, there’s less room for people and animals. In Thailand, that’s led to increasing conflicts between crop-raiding elephants and farmers. These clashes go beyond the research realm, involving a complex interplay of conservation, economics, and societal concerns. So the scientist behind the exercise, Hunter College psychologist and elephant researcher Joshua Plotnik, figured he needed to branch out beyond his fieldwork on elephant cognition and find ways to use his research to help reduce those conflicts. “The fight to protect elephants and other endangered species needed a new focus—classrooms,” he says.Plotnik has taken the unusual steps of setting up his own conservation and education nonprofit, Think Elephants International, and working with schools in the United States and Thailand. One project resulted in his coauthoring a journal article with middle school kids (1). “It is imperative as scientists that we use our …" @default.
