elephant poaching

Elephant poaching in Zimbabwe continued to increase as park rangers at a national park discovered 26 more elephants dying of cyanide poisoning.

The Kenyan government said it would take strong sanctions against poachers and smugglers of ivory to protect the animal.

Conservation scientists are calling for emergency measures to save elephants, when 62% of African elephants have lost in the last decade.

Poachers have killed more than 11,000 elephants at Gabon, once considered an African elephant elephant paradise, to get ivory from 2004 to present.
