In #ANIMALRIGHTS / Animal Adoption

"Every year in Africa somewhere between 30 and 40 thousand elephants are killed for their ivory. With less than half a million left their numbers are being decimated by Asia's insatiable appetite for ivory and those who will kill them for money. This is the first in a series of special reports on poaching, the ivory trade and the last of Africa's elephants. Our Africa Correspondent Alastair Leithead travelled to the northern Democratic Republic of Congo, to Garamba - one of the continent's oldest national parks where they have lost eight rangers in the last year, and protecting elephants appears to be more like war than conservation."
