nairobi - Natuurbeschermers luiden de noodklok omdat 'super tuskers', olifanten met enorm grote slagtanden, dreigen uit te sterven. Lees meer over de dreiging en de maatregelen die worden genomen om deze unieke dieren te beschermen.

The situation of African elephants is tragically known for a long time. Despite increasing protests, the poaching of these majestic creatures continues unabated. In a unique area along the border of Kenya and Tanzania, the threat to a population of 2,000 elephants is imminent as Tanzania considers issuing new hunting permits, endangering the 'super tuskers'.

The 'super tuskers' are elephants that have grown up peacefully in Kenya, developing massive tusks that can weigh up to 45 kilograms each. Unfortunately, the number of these unique elephants is dwindling rapidly, with five out of ten already fatally shot in the past eight months.

The debate around elephant hunting raises economic concerns against conservation efforts, with hunting safaris in Tanzania costing up to 80,000 euros, drawing hunters mainly from wealthier countries like the United Arab Emirates.

Conservationists highlight the genetic value of 'super tuskers', emphasizing their unique role in the elephant population and the need for specific protections to prevent their extinction. Efforts are being made, including petitions addressed to the presidents of Kenya and Tanzania, to safeguard these iconic creatures from disappearing within the next few years.
