Forest Phantoms

Pippa Erlich 5min

The Knysna elephant is an integral part of the area’s culture and history. They have captured the imaginations of artists and writers and the attention of various environmentalists. At the beginning of the millennium, it was thought that the original herd of over 500 animals had been decimated to a point where there was only one old matriarch left. Modern researchers have suggested that there are more.
Forest Phantom explores the mysterious connection between humans, the elephants and the forest in which they live, through the attitudes and stories of people who have been connected to them during the last 50 years.
