*Warning: Graphic* Slaughter of a family of Elephants – unseen and unheard of by the rest of the world……

About a week ago we brought you coverage from our contacts on the ground, SOS Elephants of Chad, about the horrific killings of a family of Elephants which also resulted in the deaths of 2 Chadian soldiers. It’s a gruesome event which occurs all too often, resulting in the loss of thousands of elephants over the past decade and numerous human lives . We would like to show photographs taken from that scene, though me must warn you they are fairly graphic and are a bit blurry because it was taken from a cell phone. Though it is a sensitive subject and it’s hard to look at these pictures it is imperative that we show the rest of the world what’s really going on behind closed doors, deep in the bush where it remains unseen and unheard of by the rest of the world……………………..

Chad’s New Elephant Guardians…

Keeping to his promise to ensure that Chad’s elephants fate will not become the same as in its neighboring countries, President Idriss Deby has deployed a highly trained military unit from the Chadian armed forces to aid in the protection of Zakouma National Park and its flora and fauna. This unit is working in conjunction with the existing ranger teams that are currently on the ground.

Zakuma boasts in rich  and diverse wildlife population that includes over 44 species of large mammals as well as many species of birds.

Zakouma National Park has been nominated to become a Unesco World Heritage Site.
