Wie jetzt bekannt wurde, beschlagnahmten Zollbeamte am Dienstag etwa 1,4 Tonnen Elfenbein in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Es ist die größte Elfenbeinbeschlagnahmung, die es bisher in diesem Inselstaat gab.

„Der Aufgriff in Sri Lanka legt nahe, dass sich die Schmugglerbanden neue Routen für ihr todbringendes Handwerk suchen,“ sagt Robert Kless vom IFAW (Internationaler Tierschutz-Fonds).
