elephant poaching
Illegal ivory harvesting
Elephant poaching is the illegal killing of elephants, typically for their ivory tusks.
The practice has driven some elephant populations toward extinction despite international bans on ivory trade.
Anti-poaching units patrol the reserve.
The term extends to any illegal hunting of elephants, whether for ivory, meat, or sport.
