Title:

Ivory seized decades ago still turning up in raids

Author(s):
McGrath M
Publication Year:
2022
Abstract:

Confiscated ivory from elephants killed more than 30 years ago has turned up in recent raids, say scientists. The tusks were once part of a stockpile seized from poachers and held in sealed containers by the government of Burundi. In this study, researchers used DNA and carbon dating techniques to show that some of that stored material is now in the hands of smugglers.
