Surprisingly modern and upscale isn’t it. Consistent unflattering media portrayals would have you to believe something entirely different… e.g. Africa is still some kind of wild, savage, and untamed jungle. I wonder why that is? tangie

Tanzania took an important step this week to combat the ivory trade and save the African elephant.
The country’s National and Transnational Serious Crimes Investigation Unit on Thursday arrested a string of high-level ivory traffickers accused of illegally smuggling elephant tusks from East Africa to East Asia. Among those arrested was Yang Feng Glan, a 66-year-old Chinese native known as the “Queen of Ivory.”
Tanzania has accused Yang of smuggling 706 elephant tusks, weighing about 4,200 pounds and worth about $2.5 million, according to The Citizen, a local newspaper. She faces up to 30 years in prison, the U.S.-based watchdog Elephant Action League reported.
