Stop the Killing of Elephants in the Congo

Stop the poaching of elephants for ivory in the Democratic Republic of Congo

Twenty-two elephants, ranging in age from young to old, were recently found dead and clumped together in the savanna, each with a single bullet shot to the top of the head. The animals were found to be without their tusks, but with their meat untouched. Many in the area who survive by subsistence poaching would have taken along with them a small amount of meat; however, these elephants were killed only for their ivory tusks, which appear to be Africa’s newest conflict resources.
