2 traffickers arrested with 2 elephant tusks
Ivory Coast, 16 Sep 2024
2 traffickers arrested in Abidjan with 2 elephant tusks. The main trafficker travelled from the north of country to trade the ivory in the capital. We believe that the elephant has been killed in Burkina Faso. With jihadist pressure in Burkina Faso, the last big herds of west african elephants are being slaughtered for their tusks.
Good work of Gaspard’s team with the UCT special unit and MINEF.
