The office of the Convention on International Trade

in Endangered Species (known as CITES) says rates of

elephant poaching and trade in illegal ivory remain very

high. In a new report, CITES warns that Africa’s elephants

[5] face an immediate threat to their survival because of

continued high levels of poaching for their ivory.

    Twenty thousand elephants were illegally killed in

Africa last year, the report shows. That figure far exceeds

the growth rate of the elephant population. In some regions

[10] of Africa elephants are threatened with extinction.

    The report also documents a clear increase in the

number of large seizures -amounts of over 500kg — of

ivory in Africa. For the first time there were more such

seizures in Africa than in Asia, an indication, the report

[15] suggests, of the involvement of transnational organized

crime in the illegal ivory trade.

    And while elephant conservationists do believe that

increased ivory confiscation is a sign that law enforcement

is improving, they also point out that demand for ivory

[20] remains very high, and that even in some of the

monitored elephant populations, poaching is actually

increasing.
