Monitoring the Illegal Killing of Elephants (MIKE) The MIKE Programme was established by a CITES Resolution adopted at the CoP10 in 1997. MIKE is an international collaboration that measures the levels, trends and causes of elephant mortality. MIKE’s information base is used to support international decision-making related to conservation of elephants in Asia and Africa. The information and analyses are also presented at annual CITES meetings and meetings of the CoPs. One of the core mandates given to the MIKE Programme is to build capacity in elephant range States. There are currently 28 sites participating in the MIKE programme in Asia, distributed across 13 countries: 541 views08:23
