elephant poacher

Illegal ivory hunter

An elephant poacher is someone who illegally hunts elephants, typically for their ivory tusks.

The term carries strong negative connotations—poachers drive elephant populations toward extinction and often operate through violent criminal networks.

Authorities arrested three elephant poachers near the wildlife reserve.
