Another two elephant killed in West Petauke GMA of Zambia...

The Natural Resources Chairman of the Luembe Community Resource Board reports today that a gang of elephant poachers were arrested by the Nyimba ZAWA Unit a few days ago in the West Petauke Game Management Area, and two pairs of tusks and meat confiscated. Three more poachers are therefore in the Nyimba jail awaiting trial. Community investigations continue into the role of the Nyimba ZAWA Unit and ZAWA and village guards in the current wave of elephant slaughter. ZAWA HQ have yet to report on progress in this regard, although they promised to do so.
