Amboseli and Tsavo National Park of Kenya

In the area of Amboseli and the nearby Tsavo National Park in Kenya, there has been a very high poaching threat to elephants due to the demand for ivory by Chinese and Japanese buyers. For the first time in nearly a decade, a legal ivory auction has been held in Kenya, where multi- million dollar bids were made. This auction has risen concern for the critical situation for the elephants of Kenya. 98 elephants were killed in the area of Amboseli alone in 2008, and 5 elephants in 4 weeks were poached in Tsavo National Park. The country as a whole has gone from 1.3 million elephants to 600,000 in the last decade. if we don't help soon, there will barely be any of these majestic animals left.
