Zimbabwe earns foreign currency boost from sale of nearly 100 elephants to China

This means that trade must be controlled to avoid"utilisation incompatible with their survival", said Cites."Illegal killing of African elephants for ivory remains a significant threat to elephant populations in most of the range states. At the same time, the human population of Africa has grown tenfold, from 125 million to 1 225 million, creating competition for land with elephants," said Cites Secretary-General Ivonne Higuero.

The Cites Monitoring of Illegal Killing of Elephants programme found that more than 19 100 elephant carcasses were recorded between 2003 and 2018."Specifically, strong correlation was found between ivory prices and the annual variation in PIKE [Proportion of Illegally Killed Elephants], while site-level variation was correlated with poverty density and estimated adequacy of law enforcement," read the Cites report.

How sad and pathetic

Please don’t sell the Victoria falls

WTF now even the animals are been sold to China ! Has to be a debt repayment- they had better have millions of elephants. In hind sight they shouldn't have massacred their wildlife like they did

Everything we have the Chinese will own stoooop

As much as I dont agree. I would rather they were sold to China than culled. Some may be eaten, some may end up in reserves. Culling of elephants still happens folks. Every few years.

Not sustainable.They should get the white farmers back to develop and enhance their food produvcing capability.

What dies China want these winderful animals for😡

God no!

This is like selling the sole of your country! I hope these poor Elephants get sick and die.

I guess that must be just about all they had left to flog 🥺 TIA

Still not good for them. Still colonized

Your citizens will be the next thing sold into slavery

But Zimbabwe was it really that bad ? We all know Chinese need these elephants to kill them 🥺🥺

Captured country , we know what is going to happen to those poor animals

Zimbabwe sells 100 elephants to China, DubaiZimbabwe has sold nearly 100 elephants to China and Dubai for a total price of $2.7-million over six years. edmnangagwa What are you doing...? Zimbabwe is a disgrace This is heartbreaking :( I wonder where the money from the sales will go. Even if it’s to the people who desperately need it (which I doubt), it feels like a sacred covenant is being broken. We’re writing karma cheques that the entire body of humans can’t cash :(

One grumble in 100 years: City to probe mosque 'noise complaint' after RamadaanA single noise complaint centring around the Muslim call to prayer, which has been made from Zeenatul Islam Masjid in District Six for the past 100 years, will be investigated after the holy month of Ramadaan. TammyPetersen87 Can CityofCT please investigate the noise levels created by Property Developers in the city first. The noise is constant and unbearable!! TammyPetersen87 The Aathaan is not noise pollution. Suggest CoC asks the complainant to rescind their “complaint” and pretend this never happened. I’m sure they didn’t expect this kind of attention. Imagine what will happen once their identity is revealed. TammyPetersen87 Practicing a religion should be embraced. Why complain! Those who dont like the 'noise' can move.
