RE: Memories from My Kenya Birding Trip

Thanks. Even with every effort to thwart poachers, the distances to protect are huge, funds for wardens is limited, and poaching is very lucrative. The real answer is to eliminate the market for illegal ivory, but unfortunately it still exists.

Sort:  

Well, that's true, even if there is more fund, it may not reach the officers as it will be shared between politicians atleast here in India...
Illegal business of ivory cannot be totally eliminated because rich people are fond of the ornaments of ivory and there might be people who collect it as a mark of pride.

So, protection of remaining elephants in order to increase their breed is something which can be done atleast.

Thanks again for sharing this, following you now.
