Dinerstein begins his journey in the ancient forests of Africa, where elephants have lived for thousands of years. He describes the complex social structure of elephants, their intricate communication system, and their deep emotional bonds. He also explores the threats that elephants face, including poaching, habitat loss, and climate change.

From Africa, Dinerstein travels to Asia, where elephants have played a vital role in human history. He describes the use of elephants in warfare, transportation, and religious ceremonies. He also explores the challenges that elephants face in Asia, including deforestation, fragmentation of habitat, and conflict with humans.

Dinerstein's journey is not only a celebration of elephants, but also a call to action. He argues that we must do more to protect these magnificent creatures and their habitats. He calls for an end to poaching, an increase in protected areas, and a reduction in human-elephant conflict.

What Elephants Know is a beautifully written and deeply informative book. It is a must-read for anyone who loves elephants or is interested in the natural world.
