Jalila en haar dochter

In mijn blogs probeer ik me meestal te beperken tot de olifantenfamilies uit mijn onderzoek; deze olifanten ken ik goed, omdat ik veranderingen in sociale verhoudingen en voortplanting binnen hun families al volg sinds het verlies van hun leiders tijdens de droogte van 2009.

        迪拜海关宣布罚没了259根象牙——这是阿拉伯联合酋长国迄今为止查缴的最大一批走私象牙。

        2013年5月1日，在对肯尼亚蒙巴萨（Mombasa）运往迪拜杰贝阿里港（Jebel Ali Port）货物的一次常规X射线检查中，海关罚没了这批象牙。而在货物清单上申报的却是“木制家具”。

        “东非目前被视为非法象牙贸易的中转站，而这次的象牙查缴则是对东非国家的另一次悲伤控诉。”国际爱护动物基金会（International Fund for Animal Welfare，简称IFAW，www.ifaw.org.cn）东非地区总代表James Isiche说。

        今天，国际刑警组织（Interpol）和国际爱护动物基金会（International Fund for Animal Welfare，简称IFAW， www.ifaw.org.cn）在国际刑警组织位于法国里昂的总部签署了备忘录 (MoU)。这是国际刑警组织环境犯罪项目首次与非政府组织（NGO）签署备忘录。

        “有组织的国际犯罪集团正将全球的动物赶尽杀绝。这对物种保护和国际安全都造成严重的影响，非政府组织、执法机构和各国政府必须同样矢志不移、组织有序并且装备精练的来应对这些日益严峻的威胁 。”IFAW总裁兼首席执行官Azzedine Downes说。

        “IFAW与国际刑警组织2005年开始建立合作，这些年来，我们在拥有共同目标，彼此信任、互相尊重和信赖的基础上，关系日益牢靠。今天，备忘录的签署是我们关系的深化，也呈现了IFAW和国际刑警组织所互补的专业技能。”
