"The high price of ivory
is increasingly incentivising the involvement of armed groups such as the [Lord’s
Resistance Army], sustaining their atrocities in the region." The
new report from the Enough Project estimates that elephant population in
Garamba national park, in the Democratic Republic of Congo, has been decimated
from around 20,000 in the 1970s to around 1,800 today. http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2013/jun/04/lords-resistance-army-funded-elephant-poaching
