Ivory Seizure Worth Millions
缴获价值数百万象牙
Officials in Hong Kong confiscated two large shipping containers of illegal ivory worth approximately 3.5 million dollars. The ivory tusks and ornaments were smuggled in bags of scrap plastic and beans, and shipped from Kenya and Tanzania. This ivory seizure, is one of the largest in Hong Kong history. International trade of ivory has been banned since 1990, however, elephant poaching is still on the rise in Africa due to an increasing demand for illegal ivory in the Asian market. Seven people have been arrested.
香港海关缴获两集装箱象牙，价值约350万美金。海关人员在废塑料和大豆袋中发现象牙和象牙制品，这些集装箱来自肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚。而这也是有史以来香港破获最大宗走私象牙案。自1990年起，全球已禁止象牙贸易，因亚洲市场供不应求，屠杀象牙依旧在非洲屡见不鲜。此案有7人被捕。
