This page contains the videos of the Zoo Elephant Welfare presentations. On November 6, 2013 a webinar was held in which the findings from the Zoo Elephant Welfare study were presented. This webinar was a continuous 2 hour session where 8 presentations were given. These presentations are presented below as 8 separate videos for the viewer's convenience. They are in the order they were presented from left to right. It is recommended that Cheryl's Meehan's talk be watched prior to watching those that follow hers to provide context.
