Around 10,000 elephants are slaughtered every year in Tanzania! Thats 28 elephants a day!
Little money is spent on conservation activites, and rangers are paid minimal for their efforts.

"This month, Tanzania notified the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species that the country would like to sell off its 100-ton stockpile of confiscated ivory and downgrade the protection of elephants.

The government says a one-off ivory sale will raise millions for wildlife protection. Conservationists say ivory sales just fuel the slaughter of more elephants."

Downgrade the protection of elephants? Isn't it bad enough that 10,000 of them are being slaughtered each year, just in Tanzania? The previous auctions of ivory resulted in even more poaching and elephant slaughter. It also made a lot of people believe that it was ok again to start buying ivory. And because of collusion between the Japanese and Chinese buyers the price was kept at about a quarter what it should have been, which didn't amount to much benefit to the conservation and protection of elephants.
