    Abstract
    The purpose of this study was to determine the effects of elephant deaths on the livelihoods of the people living in Kenya and Tanzania. The trade of ivory and conservation resistance were examined as the key factors for the death of an elephant. The study determined that poaching through the ivory trade, and elephants being killed in and around conservation parks because of conservation resistance, is detrimental to human livelihoods. The thesis recommends that the ivory trade must stop in order for elephant populations numbers in Kenya and Tanzania to positively affect the ecosystem and livelihoods, and conservation parks must be managed by local people.
