A poacher, a soldier and 10 elephants were killed in one clash alone last week, when Cameroonian troops intervened after poachers on horseback began storming the park. Rights groups estimate that there are now fewer than 3 000 elephants left in Cameroon. “The fight against poaching is a war and like any other war there will be casualties,” Celine Sissler Bienvenu of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW) told dpa. “Villagers who have come into contact with the poachers were told of their plans to collect as much ivory as they can until the end of March,” Bienvenu said. The practice is fuelled by continuous demand for ivory in China and Japan. There, a kilogramme of ivory can sell for as much as 1800 dollars. According to the Swiss-based Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the poached ivory is believed to be exchanged against money, weapons and ammunition to support conflicts in neighbouring countries.

Originally posted by TheGrandWarlock well something big is happening on the 20th for me, so idk, maybe thats something. also spring starts on the 20th this year. Originally posted by CaptChaos It's because by the end of March all money will be worth NOTHING. Originally posted by xFiDgetx reply to post by Monkeygod333 That is interesting... but why would poachers be given a deadline at all? Why would'nt the buyers just buy as much as they could and then stop whenever they wanted? And what kind of post-apocolypse resource is ivory anyway? "End of the worlds comming, money is gonna be worhless." "Well I better stock up on ivory then!" It sounds fishy enough but I'm having trouble with the behind the scenes logic.edit on 13-3-2012 by xFiDgetx because: (no reason given) There, a kilogramme of ivory can sell for as much as 1800 dollars. According to the Swiss-based Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), the poached ivory is believed to be exchanged against money, weapons and ammunition to support conflicts in neighbouring countries. Originally posted by xFiDgetx reply to post by Monkeygod333 Yes I am. The only reason they can turn the ivory into weapons is because ivory has a monetary value. If the monetary system collapsed it would have no value. This also does nothing to explain why the poachers would be told at all. Just offer more money for the ivory and you get the same effect.

Širom Afrike krivolov radi slonovače u 2011. dosegnuo je najviše razmjere u više od 20 godina, a istrebljenje slonova dobrim dijelom pokreće tržište vjerskim kipovima i simbolima Stručnjaci procjenjuju da godišnje zbog slonovače bude ubijeno više od 25.000 slonova. Velike količine njihovih kljova krijumčare se u radionice širom svijeta, od Filipina i Egipta do Tajlanda i Kine, koje iz slonovače izrađuju kršćanske i muslimanske brojanice, križeve, kipiće Isusa i Marije te budističke i taoističke rezbarije. Unatoč tome što religije načelno ne podržavaju besmisleno i nepotrebno mučenje životinja, vjerske suvenirnice, ali i osoblje crkava i hramova očito se upravljaju nekom svjetovnijom logikom. Na Filipinima, primjerice, koji imaju treću najveću katoličku populaciju na svijetu, tradicija rezbarenja vjerskih predmeta od slonovače toliko je duboko usađena da riječ garing istovremeno znači i bjelokost i vjerski kip. Neki filipinski svećenici preporučuju kupovinu novoizrađenih kipova kako bi njihova povijest počela u rukama njihovih vlasnika. Nažalost, takvi novi kipovi napravljeni su od nove, a to znači ilegalne bjelokosti. U nekim budističkim zemljama slonovi se štuju kao svete životinje, međutim, unatoč tome svećenici vjernicima u zamjenu za izdašne donacije dijele amajlije od slonovače koje navodno tjeraju zle duhove. U Kini poveći kipovi od bjelokosti, poput boginje plodnosti Guanyin, znaju dosegnuti astronomske cijene od oko 200.000 dolara. Poznavatelji situacije kažu da se manji vjerski predmeti ili komadi kljova lako mogu prokrijumčariti omotani u prljavo, smrdljivo donje rublje koje se dodatno može zaliti kečapom kako bi odvratilo carinike od podrobnije pretrage. Organizacija Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES) 2008. godine odobrila je trgovinu tzv. legalnom slonovačom, što podrazumijeva antikne predmete ili one koji su izrađeni prije zabrane izlova slonova radi kljova. Međutim, udruge za zaštitu životinja ističu da je dozvola samo raspirila ilegalnu trgovinu i krivolov. U SAD-u je dozvoljena prodaja predmeta koji su napravljeni prije 1989, no ta je zemlja također i predvodnik u količinama zaplijenjene slonovače. - Sviđa vam se članak?
