The Megafauna Ecology and Conservation (MEC) group, at the Xishuangbanna Tropical Botanical Garden (XTBG), Yunnan, was formed in 2020 and is led by Professor Ahimsa Campos-Arceiz. MEC’s mission is to generate useful knowledge and translate it to the policy and practice domains for the conservation of Asia’s megafauna beyond the 21st century. We achieve this by conducting research on two broad topics: (1) unveiling megafauna’s impacts on ecosystem function through processes such as herbivory and seed dispersal, and (2) understanding the drivers of human-megafauna conflicts and promoting science-based strategies for coexistence. Our main focus species are Asian elephants and our geographical scope covers from lowland Nepal to Sumatra, including Laos, Malaysia, and SW China. As of 2023, MEC has 14 members from seven different countries. MEC is affiliated with XTBG’s Center for Integrative Conservation (CIC) and the Southeast Asia Biodiversity Research Institute (SEABRI), all part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS).
