The question of controlling ivory distribution and illegal harvesting has led me to several websites this last couple days. One of them has this map:
The "push pins" are all locations that are, presently in a condition of war. (I believe all are "civil" wars, but thousands of PEOPLE are being killed).
I think any attempt to protect elephants will require local (African) enforcement, which is NOT likely with a war in progress.
What my research has led ME to conclude is this area of the world has MANY problems---it is unlikely the US can solve those problems---but it is interesting that the elephants are more protected than the people!!
